Think of meat as a side dish instead of as the center of your meal.
Try main dishes that feature whole wheat pasta, brown rice, beans, and/or vegetables. Or create low-meat dishes by mixing pasta, rice, beans, and vegetables with small amounts of lean meat, poultry, or fish. An example is bean soup flavored with a small amount of lean ham.
Eat less sugar and fewer sweets.
Drink less alcohol or no alcohol.
Choose foods whose labels say low, light or reduced to describe calories or fat.
Choose 1 percent or skim milk products and reduced fat cheeses.
Replace ice cream with fat-free frozen yogurt.
Replace sour cream with fat-free or low-fat plain yogurt.
Make sure fish, poultry, and meat are lean. Trim skin and fat.
Broil, roast, or steam foods.
Fill up on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, and grain products such as bread and rice.
Eat only small, single servings of foods high in fat or calories.
