we are trying to accomplish. We want this lowfat lifestyle to become
second nature to you. Reduce the food in your daily menu that
contributes the most saturated fat. Try cutting the quantities of
these foods in half. If you usually use mayonnaise on your sandwich,
try the new fat free variteies, or mustard. Focus on one meal at a
time. First try eliminating the highly saturated breakfast foods you
can do without. Once you have breakfast under control, move to your
lunch selections. Remember, substititions can be our best friends
when it comes to modifying our old favorite recipes. With small
changes over a period of time, you can succeed. If you just cant
handle lthe low or non fat cheeses, buy the strongest, sharpest
cheeses available, and you will find that a much smaller amount will
satisfy your palate. If you cant handle Smartbeat margarine or one
of the other low fat margarines, please try to cut the amount of
regular margarine you use in half. Some foods just cant be
substituted, such as peanuts or avocados. In this case, if you cant
live without them, try cutting down the serving size and frequency of
eating these foods.
Tips to help you with gradual changes:
Eat high fat foods in smaller amounts. Eat high fat foods less often.
Try to gradually eliminate high fat foods entirely. Substitute low
fat foods in place of high fat foods whenever possible.
