Non Stick Frying Pan - Make sure you usea good quality frying pan enables you to dry-fry or cook with a low fat cooking spray.
Don't let lack of time by an excuse not to eat healthy options. I like tocook recipes in bulk and freeze portions. You'll always have a healthy low fat option available.
Choose lower fat options of your favourite foods: Semi-Skimmed Milk rather than full fat
Low Fat Cheese
Reduced Fat Sausages etc
Some low fat options can lack in the taste department so try a few different brands to find one you like.
A rule of thumb is to aim for no more than 5% Fat (which is 5g Fat per 100g on the labelling).
Healthy recipes often use fat-free yogurt or creme fraiche rather than cream.
Bulk up a casserole with plenty of vegetables (fuse resh or frozen rather than canned)
Season food with herbs, spices, stock cubes, garlic and lemon juice instead of salt.
Use lean meat in your recipes and trim all visible fat.
Cut down on the amount of red meat you eat - replace with fish, chicken and turkey.
When boiling meat discard the water to remove excess fat or at least skim the fat from the surface of the water - do not use to make gravy.
Use smaller plates - the size of the average dinner plate appears to have increased in size over the years. Look for smaller sized dinner plates to assist in reducing portion size - it works, honest.
