To start with you should strictly limit the foods you
eat which are high in saturated fat in your kitchen (and house), and use
alternatives instead. You'll find when cooking that techniques such as grilling,
baking and broiling (and microwaving), will help you control the levels of
saturated fat in the food you eat. You can use a light stir-fry or perhaps a
saut�, as long as you monitor the amount of oil you use, or use the more
expensive virgin olive oil, which can be beneficial in small
quantities.
Another way you can reduce the amount of cholesterol in your
diet is through the way you prepare your meat and poultry. You can easily lower
the amount of saturated fat in the meat you eat by trimming or cutting off any
fat you can see on the meat, or by buying better quality cuts of meat fashion

as mentioned earlier. If you decide to roast or bake the meat, you can use a
rack to allow the fat to drain away, so you don't eat it with the meat.
Alternatively purchase a George Foreman Lean Mean Grilling Machine, which will
allow you to drain the excess fat away with ease.
To keep your meat moist
and tasty, use wine, vinegar, lemon juice or a low-fat oil as a marinade. If you
like to cook soups or stews, which can be very healthy, tasty and filling when
cooked properly, prepare them the day before and put in the fridge overnight

the top and harden, so you can remove it before re-heating and
eating.
One of the key components of a diet low in cholesterol is to
ensure that you eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, and a wide variety of them.
Try and find fresh fruits that you enjoy, so you can eat them as healthy snacks,
of prepare and freeze to eat later. A lot of people ruin the benefit of the
vegetables they eat, by covering them in excess salt (sodium chloride), which
can raise your blood pressure. Instead use herbs and spices to flavour your veg.
You can purchase ready made mixed herbal seasoning's from your local grocery
shop. For example an Italian herb mix seasoning might contain herbs such as
oregano, basil, rosemary and more. Others such as chives and parsley also give
your food interesting flavours.
When cooking your veg, try and only use a
minimal amount of vegetable oil or spray, or even better use olive oil. Make
sure you avoid butter or margarine, as both are sources of high saturated fats
and sodium. Which is a doubly bad combination for your health, especially for
people worried about cholesterol levels.
