Holidays are simply not the time for sacrificing - especially when it comes down to the treats you grew up loving to share with your family. Unfortunately most of us don't have the same metabolisms we did when we were eight years old, and instead of looking for Santa, we wind up looking like Santa by Christmas Eve.

Here on the farm don't believe in artificial sweeteners or processed diet foods, so we've developed some healthy, natural ways to enjoy our favorite holiday noshing without resorting to poking new notches in our belts.

Thin cookies = thin you. This is really the easiest solution for coping with holiday cookies. When you're rolling out your gingerbread, or sugar cookie dough, roll it thinner! That's right. A cookie that is half as thick has half the calories. (Be sure to lessen the cooking time accordingly, though. Thinner dough will cook faster.) Even better: use smaller cookie cutters as well.

Egg Nog in front of the fireplace is a holiday ritual at Beekman 1802 Farm. But nog is like a perfect winter storm of both calories and fat. One 8 ounce serving can have more than 400 calories and 20 grams of fat. Our trick? Use half egg nog, and half skim milk. (Even diluting your egg nog with whole milk will save a hundred calories or so.) Add a little extra cinnamon, and you'll barely notice the difference. (Add enough rum, and you won't notice anything.)

If you're someone who snacks when you're feeling low on energy, that's a good thing — especially if you're keeping it healthy. The problem with this time of the year is that there are going to be a LOT more temptations offered to you.

That's no problem for Bethenny Frankel:

“With a new talk show on the way and looking after my baby and business, I’m busier than ever. But no matter how busy I am, I make sure I don’t sacrifice healthy, satisfying food, especially when it comes to snacking. Making smart choices is easy to do while on the go and can be delicious without being high in calories.”

Fab fab fab!

So what does she recommend we do during the holidays?

This is a pretty big deal!

A federal judge has decided that tobacco companies will have to publish corrective statements saying that they lied about the dangers of smoking!

They'll have to basically run ads saying they're liars and that smoking is actually worse for you than they've previously let on.

Smoking kills 1,200 people a day! We'd be interested to see what spin they can try and put on that!

Each company will have to say that they:

The Victoria's Secret Angels are all getting into ridiculous shape for their big upcoming fashion show.

They've been working their butts off to get into inhuman shape and have been sharing some sexy snaps.

One of those pics came from Candice Swanepoel, who tweeted her crazy flat stomach.

So flat it's actually concave!

It seems that no matter what we eat, something is slowly killing us according to some new study.

Know what we've noticed recently?

Science is attacking sugar! The building blocks of basically all food!

They've gone as far as to say it's a poison that is literally killing this nation.

Dr. David Katz, director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center, said:

"We actually need sugar; it's our body's preferred fuel. But we eat too damn much of it."

So it's naturally occurring sugars (like in fruit, some veggies, milk, etc.) that is good for us.

It's all the added sugar that's bad.

But what about artificial sweeteners??
