Step1
Decrease or eliminate animal products that are high in fat. This includes red meat, poultry and some dairy products, such as whole milk, cream and butter. If you do eat meat, choose the leanest cuts of meat, poultry and fish available.
Step2
Check healthy cookbooks for tasty new recipe ideas.
Step3
Increase the amount of fresh vegetables and fruit in your diet. Eat them raw whenever possible.
Step4
Change your method of cooking. Broil, bake, steam or poach rather than fry.
Step5
Use vegetable cooking sprays rather than fat or oils when you cook.
Step6
Select low-fat or nonfat alternatives when they're available. Choose nonfat yogurt over regular, for example.
Step7
Eat low-fat cheese and drink skim milk.
Step8
Remove the skin from chicken or turkey.
Step9
Reduce the amount of nuts, nut butters and olives that you eat. All are high in fat.
Step10
Snack on fresh fruit, chips that are baked rather than fried, or air-popped popcorn.

Watch labels. Low-calorie does not always mean low-fat.
