Top 10 Ways to Reduce Your Fat Intake

1.      Bake, roast, or broil instead of frying.

 2.      Decrease your use of oil by using no-stick spray.

 3.      Eat more grains, vegetables, fruits, dried peas, beans, and lentils.

 4.      Trim visible fat from all cuts of meat.

 5.      Flavor vegetables with herbs, rather than butter.

 6.      Order creamy salad dressings on the side.  Dip your fork in the dressing and then spear your salad.  You still get the great taste, and you cut the fat.

 7.      Eat no more than three egg yolks per week.  Try using an egg substitute or making an omelette with only the egg whites.

 8.      Cut back on high fat desserts by choosing to eat fresh or frozen fruit, juice bars,  non-fat frozen yogurt, or sorbets.

 9.      Ordering from the children’s menu at restaurants decreases your portion size and fat intake.

 10.  Keep non-fat snacks such as popcorn, fruits, and vegetables handy for snacking.
