The most popular weight loss diets today are the Atkins diet, South Beach
diet and the GI diet. However, more traditional low fat diets still have a
great deal to offer. While the more popular diets, or fad diets, are mostly
based on lowering the intake of carbohydrates and actually recommend the intake
of some fatty foods, many dieticians have long been of the opinion that a low
fat and high fiber diet is the best combination for weight loss and health.
There are countless diet books that cover the low fat weight loss diet. Most
maintain that a very low level of fat together with an increased amount of
dietary fiber, such as whole meal bread, pasta, and brown rice, would aid weight
loss and help you to maintain an ideal weight.
Here are five easy ways to jump start your low fat weight loss diet:
1. One of the easiest ways to start a low fat weight loss diet is to cut
down on the amount of fried foods that you eat. There are alternative ways of
cooking most foods that are normally fried. For example, french fries can be
baked in the oven thereby using a very small amount of fat as compared to
deep-frying.
2. Another easy way to get a good start with a low fat weight loss diet is
to buy a steamer. This is a very quick and efficient way of cooking foods with a
minimal loss of vitamins and minerals. Steaming is a great alternative to the
deep fat fryer and provides a simple way of cooking many healthy meals.
3. Lowering your intake of butter and margarine is another simple way to
lower your intake of fat and help with your weight loss plan. You don’t even
have to change what you eat. You can make a big difference by either spreading
the butter or margarine very thinly or just leaving it our altogether.
4. When cooking meat make sure to remove some of the fat before you start
cooking. Also, if you grill the meat instead of frying it, you have removed a
substantial amount of fat and this will help you meet your weight loss goal.
5. Cutting down on eating pastry is a great way to help with weight loss.
Pastries contain a large amount of fat, so just by choosing a lower fat
alternative you can make a significant difference.
There are some fats that many dieticians believe are good for you, such as
olive oil and oily fish and these can and should be included in any low fat
diet. It is really a question of balance. A good low fat weight loss diet can be
a very healthy way to lose weight and maintain your ideal weight. Your doctor
should be able to provide you with good advice on the best way to choose a diet
and how best to make it work for you.
Just remember, reducing fat in your diet does not have to be complicated and
there are some very simple things that you can do to make a difference and meet
your weight loss goal.
