Ways To Get Fat Out Of Your Diet! Part 1 of 2

Fat is muscles great big blanket. It hides all the muscle that is primed and ready to be shown behind it’s horrible, blubbery surface. The sad part about this is that even if you work out a lot, without a good diet to support you, the muscle will remain hidden behind the henious fat. The thing that most people seemingly forget is the fact that getting big isn’t a 1 hour a day thing. It’s not a pick-up-and-play game. It doesn’t begin and end inside the gym. In all honesty, if you ask me, it revolves more around the inside of your refridgerator.

Carbs are evil, the people say. Carbs this. Carbs that. What ever happened to fat? It seemingly goes unnoticed, but it the fact remains the same – fat is not good for us. Well at least, not too much of the stuff. The recommended daily amount is strictly under 90g, and under 31g of the saturated kind.

Saturated fat is easy to spot – if it’s packeted, then it will definitely tell you the exact amount of saturated fat inside. If not, and you’re eating, a steak, saturated fat is the one that’s solid at room temperature. A good example would be butter. Saturated fats are especially unhealthy for you, as they also raise your blood cholestrol levels.

There’s fat in everything nowadays. In order to cut down, I’d reccommend you to follow some of these techniques.

-Instead of frying your food, try different ways of cooking. These include: Grilling, Boiling, Poaching, Baking and Steaming. This is a very good tip, as it cuts down hugely in fat.

-If it is essential that you fry your food, make sure that you use a non-stick pan. The reason for this? They need a lot less oil.

-When you fry your food, instead of just liberally pouring oil into your pan, ensure that you just make the tiniest droplet of oil into the pan, and roll it around. Easier still would be to grab a kitchen towel and wipe it around. The best thing you could do in these circumstances though, would be to buy one of those low-fat sprays. One spray of the low-fat stuff will only add 1g of fat, in comparison to a droplet of oil weighing in at a hefty 15g.

-When applying margarine or butter onto bread, try to use a very thin layer. When your eating toast with another spread, such as jam, there is no need to apply butter onto the bread. It just adds unnescessary fat, and you will hardly notice the taste difference.

-When buying meat, make sure you scan all the other cuts before you make your descision to find the leanest piece. After you have purchased your meat, make sure you put it in the freezer. This turns the fat white, and makes it easier for you to locate and chop off.

-If you enjoy a mayonnaise in anything (I love tuna sandwiches), ensure that you apply a very small amount of mayonnaise. In addition to this, make sure you purchase the low-fat alternative mayonnaise, as the taste is almost exactly the same.

This concludes part 1 of 2. Watch out for part 2 coming out soon.
