Most experts agree that a diet that consists of a variety and not too much of one thing is the best way to lose weight. Stay away from foods that are high in calories and fat but remember to find that balance of favorite foods and foods that help you lose weight. I personally love bread and could eat it day and night but again, I know I shouldn’t if I want to lose weight. I try to find bread products that have less than 4 grams of fat per ounce and also have at least 2 grams of fiber per serving.
Low Fat Substitutes of Favorite Foods
Trying to keep the family happy and lose weight can be a challenge at the dinner table. Burgers and hot dogs may be tasty but are high in fat and calories. Try substituting with lean meats and grill or broil, letting fat drip away during the cooking process.
Don’t be afraid to try meatless alternatives that are high in soy protein and low in saturated fat. They not only taste great but are a healthy way for you to lose weight.
Like some cheese with that wine? Cheeses are great source of protein and calcium but can be high in fat. To lose weight, buy low fat versions of mozzarella, cheddar and ricotta which still cook well in meals. Fat free cottage cheese can be jazzed up with peaches or a favorite fruit on top. What about the wine, you say?? Take all alcohol in moderation if you want to lose weight. A five ounce glass of vino can add up to 103 calories so beware of the goblets.
Snacks can also add to your families total calories so here are some low calories choices to help you lose weight: obviously, fruits and vegetables top the list but try to look for cookies and crackers that have less than 3 grams of fat in a 100 calorie serving. Don’t think you’re going to lose weight on microwave popcorn unless you limit your serving size and only get the low or fat free versions. These and the other low fat choices will help you and your family lose weight and stay healthy together.
