Reducing fat in the foods you eat may make them not taste as good but it will make you feel great. For example when your eating steak a way to reduce fat is to cut off the fat on the sides of the strip of meat. Another example is for a salad, instead of just drenching it with a type of dressing so you can taste it, put just less than you normally would so you will get less fat and calories Instead of getting soda or other beverages with a lot of sugar, get water it is a lot healthier for you Try to order foods that are steamed, grilled, or broiled instead of those that are fried or sautéed
