Introduction: High-fat intake puts the body at risk for heart disease and cancer. If you know the fat-loaded foods in your diet, you can cut back on those foods to maintain a healthy body.
Step 1: Red Meats- You have to drastically limit the amount of red meat you consume and begin eating more fish and skinless chicken breasts. Go for an increase in pastas, veggies, potatoes, brown rice, and beans. Stay away from processed lunchmeats and hot dogs. Incorporate grains into your daily meals too.
Step 2: Dairy- Go for the low-fat kind when you put dairy products in your grocery cart. Drink skim or 1% milk.
Step 3: Cut the Fat: When you decide to have red meat every once and a while, make sure you trim all visible fat from the red meat. Cheaper cuts of red meat have less fat, so go for the healthier and money-saving meats.
Step 4: Read Labels: Those labels that say "fat free," "reduced fat" and "light" still may be loaded with fat. You want a label that indicates "3 grams of fat per serving."
Step 5: The Right Tuna: Purchase the water-packed tuna instead of tuna packed in oil for your tuna sandwiches and salads.
Step 6: You Can Have Dessert: Desserts can be fresh fruit topped with non-fat Cool Whip. Go for the fat-free frozen yogurts for a real treat. You will find cookies and cakes in your grocery aisle that are fat-free. No more of those fat-loaded doughnuts, cakes and ice creams.
Step 7: Spread It On: Instead of slathering your bread with butter, cream cheese or margarine, try delicious apple butter. Also, try out the jams that are of the "all-fruit" variety. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter has zero fat if you need that butter taste.
Step 8. No Frying: Put away your frying pan and steam or boil your veggies instead to keep them fat-free. Or, if frying is your thing, use one of the new. non-stick frying pans that allow you to cook without oil, butter, or vegetable sprays.
Step 9: Salads: Fat-loaded dressings need to be replaced with the low-calorie dressings and the dressings that are fat-free. A little apple cider vinegar and olive oil makes for an inexpensive, lower-in-fat dressing.
Step 10: No Yellow: Well, if you must have an omelette, or any other egg creation, then discard at least half of the yellow from the egg before you cook your egg dish to cut the fat.
Tip: 10 grams of fat per serving is too much fat.
Warning: Fat hides big time in cookies, cakes, French fries and potato chips.
