Lower Your Dietary Fat with the Right Food Preparation and Choice
If you are embarking on a fitness program, whether it be for a specific activity or increasing muscle, such as body building, it is important to address your diet. It is important to eat a healthy diet even if you are following diets like a high in protein diet.
It is important even for those dieting, on a weight loss program. Most diets for sports are not always healthy ones. A particularly important area is 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:
Foods to buy:
Choose low saturated fat alternatives by checking the labels on food.
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.
If you are buying a pie, buy one with only one crust at the top.
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.
Food preparation in the Kitchen:
Unsaturated oil are a much healthier alternative to saturated oils. The most popular unsaturated oils are rapeseed, olive and sunflower oils. These are a good alternative to lard, butter and ghee.
Grill your meat as an alternative to frying it. Grilling encourages all the fat from the meat to run off and away. Removing the fat from the meat prior to cooking will lower the fat content.
Using a non-stick pan will allow you to avoid using oil or fat altogether.
Using low fat spreads when making foods such as mashed potatoes is a much healthier alternative.
If you are on a fitness regime then more healthy alternatives can often be substituted. Adding all these small bits of advice together can amount to large differences in your diet which can significantly lower your fat intake. A number of small changes, regularly can soon add up to big changes. - 17274
