Party-Proof Your Diet These easy swaps will battle bulge from now till New Year's.

Family dinner

Whatever the cause—Grandma's "It's only once a year" refrain or gorging to avoid being quizzed by a nosy aunt—our hips tend to grow in proportion to the size of any family gathering. They won't if you choose wisely.

Eat This:	Not That:
Mushroom gravy	Cranberry sauce
Per ½ cup: 55 cal, 2 g fat (0 g sat), 6 g carbs, 471 mg sodium, 1 g fiber, 2 g protein	Per ½ cup: 209 cal, 0 fat, 54 g carbs, 40 mg sodium, 1 g fiber, 0 g protein

Cranberry sauce would be a health food—if it weren't loaded with more than four tablespoons of sugar per half cup.

Eat This:	Not That:
Sliced ham	Turkey drumstick
Per 3 oz: 139 cal, 7 g fat (2 g sat), 3 g carbs, 1,109 mg sodium, 1 g fiber, 14 g protein	Per drumstick: 416 cal, 13 g fat (4 g sat), 0 g carbs, 196 mg sodium, 0 g fiber, 70 g protein

Say hello to the other white meat (would you believe it has only 70 calories per slice?) and goodbye to that Neanderthal-esque turkey leg.

i say save up for the bad so when your broke you can go to Taco Bell!!! lol
