Use marinades of lemon juice, flavored vinegars or fruit juices mixed with herbs when grilling or broiling & to tenderize leaner cuts of meat.
Create sauces by adding stock or broth to pan juices & thicken by boiling rapidly for a few minutes. Season with herbs & a touch of wine.

Try stir fry. Use nonstick wok or saute pan & a small amount of oil.
Rely on microwave to reheat leftovers & cook fish, vegetables & poultry with a minimum of fat.
Use small amounts of flavored oils, such as olive, sesame & chili oil, to season vegetables, meats, sauces, stir fry & sauteed dishes.
Also, season cooked vegetables with herbs, lemon juice or stock.
Skim fat from homemade soups by chilling & removing the fat layer that rises to surface.
