1. Use lean cuts of meat and trim visible fat.

2. Consume plenty of unsaturated fats such as oils, seeds, nuts, avocado and fish

3. Consume a variety of fruits and vegetables

4. Avoid adding salt during cooking.  Instead flavor food with garlic, pepper, chili, or other herbs.

5. If eating out, choose food that is steamed, baked or grilled.

Remember you can still have delicious, fulfilling meals even when following a healthy eating plan!

To your health,

Kimberly
