The same goes for incorporating healthy eating habits into your lifestyle. Many have stood firm on a balanced diet for a while, only to succumb to cravings for foods high in fat, salt and sugar. Here's some advice from experts to help you avoid these pitfalls. Cut portions in half for foods high in fat. Bake, broil, grill or roast meat instead of frying.
Steam vegetables to lock in nutrients.
Use margarine instead of butter. Substitute chicken, turkey or fish for red meat. Just say no to gravy. Limit intake of cold cuts to avoid large amounts of sodium. Look at how often you eat and how much.
