Don't make an extreme change in your diet or you will never follow it.

Start out by cutting out deep fried foods, pop/soda, sweetened juices and cut down on alcohol.



Make life style changes that you can stick with.

buy low fat cuts of meat and grill them,

steam veggies

roasted potatoes (coat cut up potatoes with a bit of oil and spices and roast in the oven or on the bbq; way less fat then french fries or a loaded baked potato)
