Answer 4

Go low fat... so take the skins and excess fats off your meats. Eat fresh or steamed veggies, especially green ones. Try whole wheat pasta instead of the traditional pasta... it's just as good but heartier and better for you/ tastes good, especially in sauce.

Go easy on sweets, pasta, bread and deserts.

Also, with alcohol, skip the beep and go with wine. Try the south beach diet book.

Good luck and happy new year!!!!!!
