How to reduce fat in your diet?

• Use polyunsaturated oils like sunflower oil, corn oil, soya oil, olive oil, safflower oil, canola oil or oat bran oil. Carefully read the labels while buying cooking oils
• Use margarines instead of butter for bread slices
• Switch to low fat dairy products instead of fresh and whole milk
• Remove skin and visible fat from meat while cooking
• Alter your method of cooking. Go for shallow fat cooking than deep fat frying
• Eat more vegetable based dishes. Replace meat with beancurd, dhals and legumes
• Use low fat cooking techniques like brush oil on pan instead of pouring. Use non-stick cookware
• Cut down deep fried snacks, cakes, ice creams and try whole fruits, whole meal biscuits and sandwiches
