Alternatives

Instead of taking snacks like chips and cakes, eat fruits between your meals to curb hunger. Use low fat yoghurt for salad dressings instead of cream or mayonnaise. Replace milk chocolates with dark chocolates and consume skimmed milk rather than plain milk. Use egg whites instead of whole egg.

Use margarine instead of creams and eat low-fat muffins instead of donuts. Use salsa instead of salad dressings. Try topping your popcorns with honey instead of melted butter. Eat fresh food and avoid processed ones as they are high in salt content. Avoid going to fast food places as they only provide you with food high in fat content.

Proteins

Red meats are high in fats but rich in protein and nutrition. Lower their consumption and ensure to consume leaner meat. Avoid processed red meat and grill your beef rather than frying.
White meat is lower in fat content. Just remember to not to eat the skin and avoid frying the meat. Fish is very healthy and even lower in fat content. Steam, bake or grill your fish and avoid frying it.
