By, Orlando Regional
Many people think that low fat means low flavor. Nothing could be further from the truth. With a little know-how, you can cook the foods you love in a way that promotes heart health rather than heart disease. The tips and recipes on this page will get you started.
Nine painless ways to cut fat from your diet:
1. Choose the leanest cuts of meat you can find.
2. Stop frying. Roast, bake, broil or grill instead.
3. Remove skin from poultry before cooking.
4. Replace whole milk with low-fat or fat-free milk.
5. Use low-fat salad dressings.
6. Use nonstick cookware and vegetable cooking sprays.
7. Eat more potatoes and whole-grain pastas and breads. Resist the temptation to cover them with butter or other highfat spreads and sauces.
8. Buy a low-fat cookbook—and use it. Look for one that includes low-fat versions of your favorite dishes.
9. Snack on pretzels instead of potato chips. Or try chips that are baked instead of fried.
