    I have the same trouble with my father and this site has everything from sugar free to low fat to vegetarian. Some suggestions I have is:

    -Eat more whole grains

    -When buying dairy, make sure you go with low fat options

    -Mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes (it's surprisingly close)

    -Stay away from sausage, if you can find turkey substitutes

    -Add liver, almonds, and cantaloupe in the diet as they help lower cholesterol

    -You don't have to totally cut out foods, just think about serving size and side dishes, if you're gonig to have steak, then serve a salad with it or vegetable, or something light rather than fries or baked potato

    -Keep alot of healthy snacks available, since that's where the most unhealthy eating usually comes in

    -Remember that there aren't necessarily bad foods, just bad portions

    Get into the habit of reading labels at the grocery store. No fried foods (fresh or packaged). Baked goods: Stay away from pastries and limit cookies (high fat content). Creamer: Don't put half & half in your coffee. We buy fresh fruits & vegetables. Salads made with vegetables and with vinegar Or lemon & little olive oil or a very small measured amount of salad dressing. I have the taste of low-fat salad dressing. Steam: The vegetables we don't eat raw, we steam and sprinkle a little soy sauce (or oyster sauce) on the green ones such as broccoli, asparagus, string beans, chard. The squashes, carrorts, pumpkins we either eat plain or with a little salt because they are sweet. Meat: We eat the leanest cuts cooked in a lightly oiled pan or cook and drain the hamburger until most of the fat is gone. Cheese: We eat cottage cheese and seldom any of the other cheeses we like anymore because of it's high fat content. We watch our portions and eat only a very small amount. Once in awhile we'll have pizza (only 1/2 a medium slice). Yogurt that is low fat is OK
