1. Light Cooking Methods

The cooking methods that you use can make a big difference in trimming the fat from your diet. Instead of frying, try these ideas:

• Broil
• Steam
• Poach
• Bake
• Roast
• Grill
• Braise

These are all healthier alternatives to frying. You can also try a cooking method known as "en papilotte," where food is sealed in a pouch made from aluminum foil or parchment paper. Sprinkle some herbs, wine or lemon juice on the meat or fish and a few vegetables before sealing and cooking in an oven.

You can also trim the fat by using cooking sprays instead of oil when preparing your food.
