Nutrition and Exercise

Eat less fat (especially butter, coconut and palm oil, saturated or hydrogenated vegetable fats such as Crisco, animal fats in meats, fats in dairy products).
Use nonstick vegetable oil cooking sprays instead of oils.
Buy lean cuts of meat; reduce portion size to 3 ounces (the size of a pack of cards).
Eat more fish, skinless chicken and turkey.
Try low–fat snacks that have been baked instead of fried, such as pretzels.
Drink skim milk, and buy low–fat cheese, yogurt and margarine.
Buy sherbet, ice milk or frozen low–fat yogurt instead of ice cream.
Have a bagel or English muffin instead of a donut or pastry.
Eat no more than 4 egg yolks a week (use egg whites or
egg substitutes).
Bake, broil, steam or grill foods instead of frying them.
Eat fewer "fast foods" (burgers, fried foods), which are high in fat.
Eat more fruits, vegetables and carbohydrates (rice, pasta, breads, grains).
Drink low–calorie beverages, such as unsweetened tea or diet soda pop.
