Fat/Saturated Fat

How can I reduce the saturated fat content in my diet?

By replacing high saturated fat foods with a lower fat alternative, including:

• Choose your spread wisely - use margarine or table spreads like olive, sunflower or soya instead of butter.
• Trimming the fat - trim the fat from pieces of meat before you eat them, this includes removing the skin from chicken.
• Review your cooking methods - instead of frying, try grilling, baking or steaming your food. Rather than adding extra fat like cream to your cooking, try low-fat yoghurt or lite evaporated milk instead.
