Cutting out fat entirely is virtually impossible after all you need some fats for living but cutting back on fats does nto need to be that difficult.
Today I have put together 5 of my top tips for cutting back on fat in your diet they are easy to follow and should be possible for almost anyone to implement straight away.
1) Avoid baked goods that are high in fat such as croissants, cookies and pastries to name just a handful. Instead choose raisin bars (or a handful on raisins, fig bars (or a 2-3 figs) arrowroot cookies ...
2) Eat small servings of meat, poultry or fish at each meal (about the size of the palm of your hand and about the same thickness) .Make sure to remove all the excess fat before you cook it. and then broil, barbecue, or bake it in the oven. DON'T fry it!
3) Use little of no butter, vegetable oil or margarine (dry pan fry wehen possible ) or put some olive oil in a sprayer and spray a light coating of this in your pan to stop sticking. (Remember olive oil although much better for you (good fat) it will still make you fat if used to excess)
4) Go easy or better yet avoid fast foods such a burgers,fries,fried chicken, pizza and oriental food you did not cook yourself. In addition many snacks such as potato chips are high in salt and saturated fats so try and avoid these also. If you need a snack try fruit and low fat rice cakes or similar.
5) Skip using 2% milk and start using 1% milk instead Ok I know it does not taste so nice if you must use 2% reduce the amount you take in your coffee and avoid the skinny latte's at Starbucks most important when possible avoid coffee creamer much of it contains glucose syrup and even low the lower fat versions are worse than milk.
Have other milk based foods such as yogurt,low fat ricotta cheese more frequnetly than higher fat cheeses. If you have a passsion for Ben and Jerry's or other ice creams try frozen yogurt or sherbert instead.
