Grab your cleaver and try these
fat-cutting tips from the editors at
Eating Well. Use citrus
fruit juice, apricot nectar, or cranberry juice to replace or extend oil in home-made salad dressings. Or try cutting the oil with a mellow vinegar such as balsamic vinegar or raspberry vinegar.
Add 1 cup of soaked bulgur to one-half pound of ground beef or sausage. Replacing half the meat with bulgur substantially reduces fat while increasing complex carbohydrates. Try
mushrooms in place of meat in a sandwich or in tomato sauce. Portobello and cremini mushrooms have a rich, meaty taste that can be just as satisfying. Substitute
yogurt cheese for cream cheese and sour cream. Yogurt cheese is easily made by draining the whey from non-fat plain yogurt. Final yield is about one-third of the original volume. Try
prune puree, apple butter, or mashed bananas to replace 25% of the fat in cakes, cookies, and muffins. Replace one ounce of unsweetened chocolate with three tablespoons of
cocoa. The cocoa has only 1.5 grams of fat compared to 16 grams in the chocolate. Dip chicken or turkey fingers in buttermilk batter, roll in seasoned flour or cornmeal, and
faux-fry in a hot oven. |
