Q. Dieting is difficult for me becaue my family love fatty sauces and
gravies.
How can I give them what they want and at the same time,
reduce the fat in these foods?
A. In order to lose weight
you have to reduce fat and replace your everyday bad eating habits with
healthier choices. However, that does not mean having to eat boring food.
The following are some tips which will help you reduce fat when making
sauces and gravies:
- Store liquid in the
refrigerator until the fat solidifies on top, then skim off. If you
are in a hurry, add some ice-cubes to the liquid and the fat will rise
to the top, the skim off.
- Replace full-fat milk
with fat-free milk.
- Replace cream with low-fat
sour cream, fromage frais or low-fat yogurt. If using yogurt, add 1
tsp cornstarch to prevent it from separating.
- Use more tomato based
sauces.
