The
Top 10 "Trans Fat" Foods:
Tip:
Look for soft-tub margarine, because it is less likely to have
trans fat. Some margarines already say that on the packaging.
Tip: Add flour and baking powder to your grocery list; do-it-yourself
baking is about your only option right now, says Moore. Or watch
for reduced-fat mixes.
Tip: Get out the crock-pot and recipe book. Or try the fat-free
and reduced-fat canned soups.
Tip:
Order your meat broiled or baked. Skip the pie. Forget the biscuit.
Skip the fries -- or share them with many friends.
Tip:
In frozen foods, baked is always heart-healthier than breaded.
Even vegetable pizzas aren't flawless; they likely have trans
fat in the dough. Pot pies are often loaded with too much saturated
fat, even if they have no trans fat, so forget about it.
