Tips for Reduce Fat

To help cut down on your fat intake, use the following tips when preparing foods :

• Use evaporated skim milk instead of cream when preparing sauces or desserts.
• Create your own nonfat salad dressing by mixing balsamic vinegar, mustard and herbs. If you really prefer an oil-based dressing, try using three parts vinegar to one part oil.
• Drain non fat yogurt through a sieve or cheese cloth over night in the refrigerator, and use in recipes that call for cream.
• Sauté foods in chicken broth, vegetable stock, tomato juice or wine instead of frying them in oil or butter.
• Keep olive oil in a spray bottle to a lightly coat sauté pans.
