Top 5 Ways to Reduce Fat Intake

1. Stick to low fat meats such as fish, chicken, turkey and lean cuts of beef.

2. Slowly move down to fat free milk. Don't go directly from whole to fat free overnight, you might not stick with it. Also use low fat dairy products such as cream cheese, sour cream and cottage cheese.

3. Bake instead of fry. Baking requires a lot less oil. The same goes for snack foods. There are now a lot of brands of potato chips that aren't fried but baked.

4. Stop eating junk food. This will solve a lot more than cutting out fat. Most junk food whether it is a snack or fast food is loaded with enough fat to cover your needs for a few days.

5. Tweak your recipes to remove or cut down on ingredients high in fat such as oil, butter and cheese.
