This is actually very sound advice. Especially for a holiday weekend filled with yummy foods.
That said....you didn't work hard all month long to totally ruin your efforts with one holiday weekend. So we'd like you to have your cake and eat it too, so to speak, with some healthier versions of your favorite sweets.
It's strawberry season, so we love the idea from Eating Well for Strawberry Shortcake
Delish has a great idea for Peach, Rhubarb and Ginger Crisp
And we know a certain member of the Dynamic You Fitness team can't ever turn down a brownie...so for them we found a lighter version of the delicious sweet.
If you're truly looking to keep it light, always keep in mind the tasty option of fresh fruits with some light whipped cream or yogurt can be just as (okay almost just as) delicious.
