Replace whole milk in recipes with low-fat or skim milk. Replace cream in recipes with evaporated skim milk. Use smaller amounts of full-fat cheese, such as cheddar or use lower fat cheese such as part skim mozzarella. Decrease the amount of fat in recipes. Do not decrease fat if the recipe has already been reduced in fat. Start by decreasing the fat by ¼. For example, if a cake recipe calls for 1 cups of margarine, use ¾ cup of margarine. The fat in recipes for quick bread, muffins, and some soft cookies can be decreased by ½. For example, if a muffin recipe calls for 1 cup oil, use ½ cup oil. Replace chocolate and nuts with raisins or chopped fresh fruits or canned fruits. Replace sour cream with nonfat or low-fat sour cream or low -fat yogurt. Decrease the amount of oil in homemade salad dressings. Try using one part oil to two parts vinegar. Use skim milk or low-fat milk in place or whole milk. It may be easier to take one step at a time. Start by switching from whole milk to 2% low-fat milk. Later switch to 1% low-fat and then to skim milk.

You do not currently engage in regular physical activity, you should begin by incorporating a few minutes of physical activity into each day, gradually building up to 30 minutes or more of moderate-intensity activities. You are now active, but at less than the recommended levels, you should strive to adopt more consistent activity: moderate-intensity physical activity for 30 minutes or more on 5 or more days of the week, or vigorous-intensity physical activity for 20 minutes or more on 3 or more days of the week. You currently engage in moderate-intensity activities for at least 30 minutes on 5 or more days of the week, you may achieve even greater health benefits by increasing the time spent or intensity of those activities.
