Health Tip: Cutting Down on Fat
By LadyLively on November 15, 2013
Cutting back on dietary fat can help you lose weight and improve your heart health.
The Cleveland Clinic suggests how to choose lower-fat foods:
- Read product labels, and opt for those titled nonfat, low-fat or reduced fat.
- Focus on total fat consumed for the day, instead of fat in a specific food.
- Stick to lean cuts of meat. Aim to eat less than 6 ounces of meat per day.
- Choose low-fat proteins, such as tofu, dried beans and peas, low-fat dairy products and water-packed tuna.
- Drink 1 percent milk or skim milk, and eat reduced-fat or nonfat spreads and cheeses.
