Aim to reduce your fat intake to less than 30 per cent of your daily calorie consumption.
Do not eliminate fat completely from your diet - fats contain fatty acids and vitamins A, D, E and K which are essential for good health.
Eat small amounts of mainly unsaturated fats, such as fish oils, olive oil, sun-flower oil, rape-seed oil and margarine.
Avoid saturated fats such as fat meat, red meat, hard cheese, cream, butter and unskimmed milk.
Choose fish and white meat such as chicken in preference to red meat.
Choose cottage cheese or even medium-fat types, such as Brie, Camembert or Edam in preference to hard cheeses such as Cheddar.
Use low-fat spreads instead of butter, but only in small quantities.
Stop deep frying. When cooking, use as little fat as possible. Use sunflower oil only when frying.
Avoid egg yolks and any foods which are made with them.
Avoid high fat snacks such as crisps, peanuts, chocolate, biscuits, pastries and cakes.
