onions and garlic helps cholesterol
Eat onions and garlic with high-fat foods. Studies have indicated that onions eaten with a high-fat meal bring blood cholesterol down. Garlic has also demonstrated cholesterol-lowering abilities. -- George Foreman and Cherie Calbom, George Foreman's Knock-Out-The-Fat Barbecue and Grilling Cookbook (1996)
cut the fat
Cut sour cream and mayonnaise with equal amounts of nonfat or low-fat yogurt for a reduced-fat spread or topping. -- George Foreman and Cherie Calbom, George Foreman's Knock-Out-The-Fat Barbecue and Grilling Cookbook (1996)
Sidedishes
No master chef's barbecue is complete without colorful, sometimes refreshing, other times rib-stickingly rich, and always well seasoned essential supporting players(side dishes) that not only hold their own at cookouts, but occassionally steal the show. My favorites are beet and red cabbage slaw; grilled zucchini and summer squash salad with basil-parmesan dressing; tomato, cucumber and red onion salad with mint; grilled portobella and red bell pepper salad with rosemary dressing.
home cooked is better
When your taste buds demand a burger, grill your own. Avoid fast-food burgers, which can contain 12 to 15 teaspoons of fat and tip the scales at over 700 calories. -- George Foreman and Cherie Calbom, George Foreman's Knock-Out-The-Fat Barbecue and Grilling Cookbook (1996)
don't add fat
For more flavor without adding extra fat, season foods with onion, garlic, spices, herbs, hot sauce, salsa, lemon juice or vinegar. -- George Foreman and Cherie Calbom, George Foreman's Knock-Out-The-Fat Barbecue and Grilling Cookbook (1996)
cut more fat
Take the skin off chicken or turkey before cooking. -- George Foreman and Cherie Calbom, George Foreman's Knock-Out-The-Fat Barbecue and Grilling Cookbook (1996)
choose lean cuts
Hamburger meat is very high in fat. Buy the leanest ground beef possible (about 90 percent lean). Ground, skinless chicken breast or skinless turkey breast is even lower in fat than 90 percent lean ground beef. -- George Foreman and Cherie Calbom, George Foreman's Knock-Out-The-Fat Barbecue and Grilling Cookbook (1996)
