#5) The Svelte Gourmet gives sweets a skinny makeover
Often, one of the first things to get axed when you're trying to lose weight is dessert. Most typical desserts are loaded with sugar, calories and fat.

#4) Laurel wants to help you break your diet soda addiction
There was a time when I drank diet sodas all the time. My friends and I were happy we had something to drink besides water that wouldn't make us gain weight (supposedly).
