(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 31, 2002 ) SUGGESTED ANCHOR LEAD: Out with the old and in with the new. The New Year that is. What comes with the New Year but resolutions, and they're usually health related. Roberta Facinelli takes a look. (:55)

SCRIPT: Lifestyles, I'm Roberta Facinelli. What are your New Year resolutions? If you're like many Americans, topping your resolution list is one that says: Lose weight. And another that says: Exercise more. That's no surprise considering that 1 in 5 Americans have cardiovascular disease caused by obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. But many of those people who make well-meaning resolutions don't want to lose their favorite foods. And, says Peg Buchheit from the Betty Crocker Kitchens, they don't have to.

CUT: (Buchheit) There are many low-fat and fat-free foods on the market that are also cholesterol-free. You can dress them up a bit with some fruit or prepare them in an imaginative way, so you can still enjoy those indulgent desserts while taking care of your health.

SCRIPT: Buchheit says desserts like Betty Crocker's Angel food cake, are quick and easy to prepare, and have no fat or cholesterol. A win-win situation for those who want to watch their health and have their desserts too. I'm Roberta Facinelli.
