1.When preparing deserts, go for low fat kind of treats

Always go for low fat stuff like muffins or brownies. Serve with low-fat milk – they make excellent treats for your guests. Always remember that you should not over bake them because since there are less fat in the content, over baking them will wind up drying them out or worse, getting burnt!

2.Reducing the Fats in Graham Crusts

To minimize fat in a graham cracker crust, make sure you moisten it with 1 to 2 tablespoons of melted butter for each cup of crumbs used. Later on, add just enough corn syrup or honey to the mixture. It will hold together. Later on, press the crust into the pan.

3.Eat Healthier Baked Bread

4.Cut down on oil and butter

Instead of frying your food, make sure you boil, steam, microwave or stir fry vegetables in for your meals. But make sure you refrain from using butter or oil for flavoring because this will add too many calories and fat. Seasoning and herbs will add more flavor to your means instead.

5.Do Eat Vegetable Fat

Eating more vegetables fat will lower risk of developing diabetes than those who consume animal fats. Think peanut butter, olive oil and avocados for your fat intake.

6.Use commercial fruit sweeteners rather than refined sugar.

You can find commercial fruit sweeteners, ordinarily a combination of concentrated peach and pear juices and unsweetened pineapple syrup, in health food stores, gourmet food stores and large grocery outlets. It tastes 1-1/2 to 2 times sweeter than refined sugar.

7.Make Your Own Fruit Sweetener

8.Bouillon Cubes

Just add water! Bouillon cubes are a convenient way to add robust flavor to a variety of recipes that call for beef, chicken or vegetable stock. For a flavor boost, use the broth in place of water when cooking rice or beans. Or add it to stir-fries and reduce the amount of fat needed for cooking and to add flavor. Basically you have many choices how you want to cook it.

9.The Healthy Tomato

Lycopene is an antioxidant that may help prevent heart disease and certain cancers. There is no need to buy fresh tomatoes to reap the benefits of lycopene, however. Lycopene can withstand the high heat used in processing and cooking, so all canned and bottled tomato products (including tomato paste) offer the health benefits of fresh tomatoes. The body will absorb lycopene better when you eat tomatoes – all you need to do is add a bit of olive oil.
