Use fresh fruit for dessert instead of high-fat desserts. Choose lowfat luncheon meats such as turkey breast or pressed turkey instead of salami and bologna. Also eat few frankfurters, other sausages, and bacon. When eating turkey, remember that white meat has less fat than dark meat. Buy or make salad dressings with predominantly unsaturated oils.
Olive oil is an especially good choice.
Or try a nonfat type or just vinegar or lemon juice. Limit use of organ meats that are very high in cholesterol, such as liver, kidneys, brain, and sweetbreads. Prepare soups and stews containing meat the day before eating them. After refrigerating, skim off the congealed fat on the surface prior to reheating. Be cautious about store-bought baked products such as pies, cakes, croissants, pastries and muffins.
