Buy low fat dairy products
In the store, choose milk, cottage cheese, yogurt with a fat content of no more than 5%. This will help reduce the number of calories on the menu. In addition, dietary dairy products are healthier – excess fat interferes with the absorption of calcium, the main source of which is milk and its derivatives.
Replace chocolate with marshmallows
Without sweets, life is boring and sometimes tragic. Replace chocolates with lighter options like natural marmalade (now often called fig) or marshmallow. These sweets fit well with the concept of a low-fat diet and are certainly delightful at the same time.
Eat vegetable sandwiches
When making sandwiches, replace mayonnaise with avocado… This vegetable is simply loaded with polyunsaturated fatty acids, which lower the level of “bad” cholesterol. That is, we replace useless fat from mayonnaise with useful fat – from avocado.
Cut off visible fat from food
The easiest way to make the menu leaner is to cut the visible fat from the meat. In addition, when buying meat, keep in mind that veal is the leanest. Beef is a neutral option. Pork is unwanted. As for the poultry, we need a turkey and a chicken. The most dietary part of the carcass is the breast. Naturally, without the skin.
Bake, not fry
In terms of the fat content of the finished dish, steaming or baking is the best option.… If frying in a skillet, spoon out the oil rather than pouring it out of the bottle to help control the amount.
Eat More Complex Carbs
Complex carbohydrates do not contain harmful fats at all, take a long time to digest and give you a long feeling of satiety. To reduce the overall fat content of food, include in the menu.
Eat all the fatty foods in the morning
Stick to a simple rule: in the first half of the day, that is, at breakfast and lunch, you need to eat most of the daily calories and fat… During the day, the body will have time to spend them. But if you eat something fat at night, everything you eat goes straight to the folds of fat: at this time, the body makes strategic reserves.
