Low Fat, No Fat, and Wo Fat
You must be the same age as me if you get the Hawaii 5-0 reference to Wo Fat, a villain from the old television show. A medical school classmate of mine got stuck with that for a nickname, and it fit him perfectly.
I have never liked low fat or no fat dishes and ingredients. In fact I tend to place them in the disgusting catagory...and then the garbage disposal.
I will say there are a few low or no fat foods that actually make the grade. You find them by sticking to foods that are as close to their natural state as possible. Take Jersey tomatoes for instance, with a couple drops of olive oil, some balsamic vinegar, and a hint of salt and pepper.
Or watermelon with a dab of salt - or none.
Fresh peaches? Or cherries?
Even salad makes a tasty treat if it's fresh enough.
I know these aren't the most convenient options, but if you leave yourself open you'd be surpised how easy it is to get some healthy natural foods worked into your daily routine. And the extra effort is definitely worth it compared to microwaved mac and cheese or Pop Tarts.
And most low fat or no fat items are more chemical constructs than real food. Just look at the ingredients on the label. If you spot any artificial sweeteners, run away.
Just remember what Julia Childs once said. "If you want to lose some weight, eat a little less. You don't need to eat a 16 ounce steak, or a one pound potato. Butter isn't your enemy, gluttony is!" Don't forget to sound that out in her unmistakable voice.
Let's face it, it doesn't take Larry The Cable Guy to break down why Hot Pockets are bad for you, although it's a fun discourse if you get the chance.
One of the big keys to long-term weight loss is eating real food in as close to its natural state as possible. Fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, lean meats. If you've ever had the opportunity to eat with a group of chefs, you would be very surprised at what they really like. Almost everything they like is very simple, and there isn't much fuss. But the ingredients are pristine.
In years past it was tough to get good ingredients.
But finding fresh food today is a lot easier no matter where you live in the U.S. So gradually add some of these kind of meals into your weekly routine.
There was a study I just finished reading showing that people who made changes in their diets, and I'm not talking radical changes, as well as supplemented with pharmaceutical grade fish oil, lost weight and kept it off.
Which is great to see. Ultra pure pharmaceutical grade fish oil and simple changes in diet are a dynamite combination.
So get started now and you won't have to spend any time reading old magazines in an overcrowded waiting room, if you know what I mean. - 17269
