Cutting back on high fat snacks, rich desserts, sauces and gravies, and salad dressings and spreads. • Preparing foods with little or no fat and choosing cooking methods such as baking, braising, broiling, roasting, steaming, microwaving or poaching. • Including meals featuring meat alternatives such as soy products, legumes and eggs • Combine healthy eating with regular physical activity. ■til Sept. 13/05 SAVE 8%on Advantage Varieties * WINTER WHEAT SEED * A.C.
