Saturated fats: Avoid fried foods and fast foods since they are mostly saturated fats. Increase your fruit and vegetable consumption because they are fat free (except for an avocado which is unsaturated fat). Try to have skim and low fat dairy product ( they are also saturated fats. Look for mono and polyunsaturated fats. Avoid any food in which the nutritional label has more than 30% of the calories from fat.

Suggestions:: 1) low fat dairy products are great for bone-strengthening calcium, vitamin D & other nutrients but avoid high fat versions; 2) trim meat consumption (try 1 or 2 meatless days a week to start, unless ready to go vegetarian); 3) optimize intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains (as tolerated).

Fried: Avoid fried foods, many fast foods are high in fat so check online first. Ideally you want less than 30% of your calories from fat with most from unsaturated fats. Try for lean meat, poultry and fish with whole grains fruits and vegetables. Try not to add butter to your vegetables and minimizecreme sauses and soups.
