THE BASICS...

This is what I decided to do... no eating out EVERYDAY....will cook my food so that it will be as low-fat as I can get it. I don't forego sweets,etc.I just moderate the intake.
I down-sized from a dinner plate to a salad plate. That's just to trick you though. It looks like you're eating the same. I use fat-free mayo,fat-free salad dressing,fat-free milk,etc. I also switched to spray margarine. You use less but it gives you the taste. I spray a baked potato,frozen veggies,canned veggies,fresh veggies....
For my sandwich that I take for lunch at work, I switched to wheat bread. I take a salad to eat with my sandwich because at first I only took the sandwich and I was still hungry after lunch. I eat a big salad with every meal except breakfast.I don't add things that have fat in the salad either. Lettuce,carrot,cabbage,sliced celery,cucumber,grape tomatoes and fat-free dressing,that's it! I should mention that I wasn't a big salad eater before. I really enjoy my salad now though. I discovered a new thing yesterday. It's called Kernal Seasonings popcorn seasoning. The bottle says to put it on popcorn,soup,salad,etc. I tried it in my salad and I liked it. I got the parmesan & garlic flavor. I can't wait to try it on a baked potato. The best part is...NO CALORIES...NO FAT in it!!!!
I have 3 flavors of no-fat cooking spray...canola,olive and butter. Did you know that you can fry an egg in no oil? Just keep the temp. down and spray genorously.Takes a little longer but,in my opinion, it actually tastes better. The fried egg is my Sunday morning treat. Love it!
