Low Fat Rhubarb Recipes

Low Fat/ Fat Free/ Light and Heart Healthy

Including rhubarb in your low fat diet is a very good choice, because, not only do recipes with rhubarb taste good, but, rhubarb is nutritious too!

Are you trying to maintain a diet "Trimming the Fat"?

Here are some additional tips to help "trim the fat" in your diet, to help keep it as low fat or fat free as possible:

• Use as little butter, margarine, and oil as possible on toast, sandwiches, vegetables, and in cooking. Every little bit counts! Try using juice or herbs on vegetables instead of butter.

• Instead of frying food, try to use more low-fat cooking methods, for example: broiling, baking, steaming, poaching and broiling.

• After preparing meat, spoon off the fat in the gravy. If meat is being refrigerated, when it is cold, the fat will harden forming a layer which can easily be removed.

• Always remove the skin from poultry and the visible fat from other meats. Choose lean cuts, and monitor serving sizes, (keeping them to about 3 or 4 ounces is a good idea).

• Use only low fat salad dressings, and low fat mayonnaise, and keep the use sparingly.

• Use low fat relishes, sauces, for example: cranberry or mint sauce with meat, instead of rich, fatty sauces or gravies.

• Use 1% or skim milk instead of whole milk, and use low fat or fat free yogurt and sour cream. Part-skim cheese is also a healthier choice.

• Snack on fresh fruits, vegetables, and unbuttered popcorn between meals.

These are just basic, easy to implement ides, keeping in mind that every little bit counts!
