Healthy Eating by Lowering Dietary Fat
When embarking on a fitness plan, whether it be for a particular activity or increasing muscle, such as body building, it is vital to address your diet. Although many sports diet programs look at and give advice about particular foods like high protein foods, it is important to eat healthily.
It is important even for those dieting, on a weight loss program. A low calorie or sports diet is not always a healthy diet. One especially important area is in fat intake. The following provides tips and advice on which foods to buy and how to cook them in the best way to reduce fat intake:
Particular foods to buy:
Find out if there are alternatives to the food you normally buy by checking the labels and choosing low saturated fat ones.
If you are buying poultry such as chicken or turkey, buy it without the skin on.
Vegetarian and Fish alternatives tend to have a lower fat content.
Choose low fat alternatives of dairy products like semi-skimmed milk and low fat yoghurts.
A pie with just one crust on the top is much lower in fat.
Checking the cut of meat and the visible fat content will help reduce the fat level. Look out for lower fat alternatives of meat such as lean mince meat. Also check the amount of fat on a cut of meat and choose the one with the lowest fat amount.
Low fat food preparation:
Saturated oils are bad, so use unsaturated oils as an alternative. Sunflower, rapeseed and olive oil are popular types. These are a good alternative to lard, butter and ghee.
Grill your meat instead of frying it. The fat is allowed to run away off the meat when grilling. Removing the fat from the meat before cooking will lower the fat content.
Using a non-stick pan can allow you to avoid using fat or oil altogether.
Using low fat spreads when making foods such as mashed potatoes is a much healthier alternative.
If you are on a fitness plan then a more healthy alternative can be substituted. If you add all these small amounts of advice together it can amount to big changes in your diet. Consistent small changes can soon add up to large differences. - 17269
