Low Fat Recipes for your

Low-fat
Eating - Losing weight is not complicated. The first step is knowing
how much fat there is in everyday foods. If you want to lose weight,
you should aim to eat no more than 30-40 grams of fat a day. Eat
more delicious fibre-rich foods and you won't go hungry.
How Much
Fat ? There's no need to aim for no-fat eating: that would make your
diet quite inadequate, and also lacking in flavor. Although we can't
be definite about the rate at which anyone will lose body fat, a
loss of 1-2 kilograms a month is excellent. If you think that's not
much, consider what a 500g tub of margarine looks like - that's half
a kilo of fat. Losing the equivalent of 2-4 tubs of fat a month is
quite an achievement. With regular low-fat eating, body fat losses
are also more likely to be permanent.
Low fat
eating also means avoiding hunger. Most foods either have a lot of
fat a little fibre, or a lot of fibre and little fat (nuts are the
major exception, as they have lots of both). Eating foods with less
fat will give you more fiber, and fiber is filling.
People who
have tried may diets often say that they break their diet through
boredom, and because they are always hungry. The wide variety of
delicious, low-fat, filling foods available makes it easier to stick
to this healthful way of eating until it becomes a way of life. Your
dinner plate can be heaped with vegetables, hearty helpings of rice,
pasta or potatoes, and a smaller portion of meat. You won't go
hungry because you will be eating more. And once you explore the
vast array of fruits and vegetables, cereals, breads, grains,
legumes and seafood around, you certainly won't be bored.
The low fat
recipes in this website will help. The soups have an average of 3.5
grams of fat per serve; the salads and vegetables have an average of
4 grams of fat; the dishes in the pasta, rice and grain section
average only 5 grams each per serve, the main courses come in at an
average of 6 grams of fat, and the desserts are all entirely
fat-free.
Combining
fruits, vegetables, breads, cereals, low-fat dairy products, and
some seafoods, chicken or lean meat will give you the basis of good
low-fat eating. And remember to use plenty of herbs and spices for
flavor.
