24 Luscious tips
for low-fat eating
 |
Pull out all your saucepans, dishes and plates. If the pans are not non-stick, throw them out and invest in some good quality non-stick cookware. That means you'll always use less fat. Buy plates that look big but actually offer smaller sized portions. Soup bowls with a big outside lip are great - remember, trick the eye and trick the stomach.

Invest in a good spray bottle. Fill the bottle with half oil and half water (click here for recipe ideas) and when you need to use oil, spray with your spray gun instead - you'll be amazed at the results.
Coat your baking pans with flour or cornmeal to prevent sticking - you won't have the added fat and calories of shortening or oil.
Replace some of the whole eggs called for with 2 egg whites. Each egg replaced with 2 egg whites will save 5 grams of fat. It's usually a good idea to keep at least 1 or 2 whole eggs to maintain the correct taste and consistency. For example, replace 3 whole eggs with 1 whole egg and 4 egg whites - you'll save 10 grams of fat.
Grill don't fry. Yes, that's right: if you grill, the oil drops off - it's healthier and more enjoyable than having a mouth full of fat.
