may see 20 things you like, but
your budget doesn't allow you to
buy it all."
Decide whether you want to
have a little of everything or to
just pick and choose your favorite
foods, Ms. Baumrind says.
"There are certain foods you can
only have on Passover, so go
ahead and enjoy them — within
reason," she says.
/— "The bottom line is: You can
eat anything — in moderation."
Plan ahead: Consider what
is being served and how to fit
what you want to eat into your
weight loss program, Ms. Baum-
rind says. She suggests eating
fewer starches and proteins
(poultry or cheeses) at lunch and
saving them for the seder.
Avoid hunger: You can save

up your calories several days be-
fore for the seder, but don't
starve yourself or you won't have
the willpower to resist tempting
Passover treats, Ms. Dershowitz
says. "You are less likely to make
good choices if you are very hun-
gry."
Eating vegetables or fruit be-
fore you go to the seder also will
curb your hunger, says Harriet

Practice portion control:
Pay attention to portion sizes,
Ms. Dershowitz says. "It's OK to
eat a little of everything, just not
a lot of everything."
Instead of a large slice of kugel
(made with potatoes or noodles,
oil, eggs, salt, sugar and matzah
meal), by a small, 3-inch square,
Ms. Baumrind says.
Health specialists also rec-
ommended eating less animal
protein, such as beef and chick-
en, and more vegetables, fruits
and grains.
Dr. Rechtschaffen, who adds
diet book publishing to his med-
ical career, traditionally has fish
and vegetables at the seder.
What, no kugel? His mother nev-
er made the high-fat delicacy, he
says, so he doesn't crave it.
Exercise: You can eat more
food if you are active because you
burn calories when you exercise,
the health experts say.
How about taking a walk after
dinner to aid digestion instead of
immediately retiring after the full
meal? Dr. Rechtschaffen asks.
Seconds anyone? If you go
back for seconds, fill up on fruits
and non-starchy vegetables such
as green beans, squash, zucchi-
ni and salads.
"Naturally, horseradish is un-
limited," Ms. Baumrind jokes.
in the final analysis, Providence was ranked in the
top 100. We're excited to be in such good company
But then, after more than 150 years of serving metro
Detroit we couldn't be anything less.
