Here's a list of some of the best foods to transform your fat
making fridge into a slim and sleek weight-loss partner.

FROZEN FOODS
Kick the Haagen-Dazs and frozen Snickers out of your
of your freezer and replace them with these items:

*Fish fillets such as salmon or halibut

*Frozen fruits such as strawberries, blueberries,
peaches and raspberries

*Frozen vanilla yogurt

*Frozen vegetables such as corn, carrots, broccoli, brussels
sprouts cut up spinach and blends of stir-fry and stew vegetables

*Ground turkey breast

*Lean red meat such as flank steak or ground beef

*Low-fat frozen bean burritos

*Pizza crusts (preferable whole wheat)

*Skinless chicken

*Veggie burgers

CONDIMENTS
Since the door of the fridge is where you put the flavors that
spice up your meals, choose the right condiments to keep
your food tasty, yet low-fat.

*Barbecue sauce

*Butter flavored sprinkles

*Chinese seasoning sauce

*Fat-free or light mayonaise

*Garlic (fresh bulbs of jar of minced garlic)

*Hot sauce

*Ketchup

*Lemon juice

*Light salad dressing

*Mustard (if you're adventurous try the spicy flavored ones)

*Peppers from the mild Anaheim to a fiery Jalapeno or Habanero

*Reduced sodium soy sauce

BUTTER
Your butter dish can help make or break your healthly life style.
Since trans-fatty acids have been linked to heart disease and
other cardiovascular woes, stick with margarines that do not
contain it. If you do buy butter, use it sparingly. Each pound
carries 3,252 calories.

BEVERAGES
Soda- - regular or diet- - may be your beverage of choice, but
it doesn't stand up to these healthy drinks that you could stock
on your shelves.

*Fat-free milk
*Orange Juice of other fruit juices
*Soy or rice milk
*Vegetable juice such as V8
*Water in a gallon jug, either bought at the store or refilled
from your tap.

DAIRY PRODUCTS
Cream cheese, regular sour cream, and huge blocks of cheese- -
aren't your companions on your journey to Weight-Loss Land. But
that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy their slimmer counterparts.

*Fat-free vegetable dip

*Low-fat cheese slices

*Low-fat shredded cheese or blocks of cheese

*Low-fat sour cream

*Low-fat Yogurt

COLD CUTS
If you have bologna, sausage and beef hot dogs in your meat
drawer, replace them with sliced turkey or lean ham.

FRUITS
Unless you have a super-size fridge, you probably won't be
stocking all of these at once, so choose a few of your favorites
and rotate your selections each week.

*Apples, Banasas, Cantaloupe, Grapefruit, Grapes,
Honeydew, Kiwifruit, Oranges, Tangerines, Peaches,
Nectarines, Pears, Pinapple, Plums, Strawberries,
Blueberries, Raspberries and Watermellon

VEGETABLES
Again you probably won't be able to fit all of these vegetables
in our refrigerator, but choose different representatives from the
list every week, depending on personal preference, what's in
season and what's on sale.

*Baby Carrots, Brocoli, Cabbage, Celery, Corn on the Cob,
Cucumbers, Eggplant, Green, red and yellow Peppers, Kale,
