LOW FAT DIET: QUICK AND EASY LOW FAT RECIPES

WHY IS MY LOW FAT DIET NOT WORKING
Despite the common observation that obesity runs in families, genetic research shows that the habits you inherit from your family (eating fatty diets) are more important than the genes you inherit. Obesity genes account for only five percent of all weight problems. Then, we have to wonder, what causes the other 95 percent of weight problems?
We are seeing an epidemic of obesity in America today. It is the single most important public health issue facing us. If genes do not account for obesity, perhaps it is our high-fat diet that is to blame. It is logical that eating fat makes you fat. Fat contains nine calories per gram, so eating more fat (and more calories) would make you gain weight.
Recently, the Nurses' Health Study from the Harvard School of Public Health reported from a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), and found that a diet "with high intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, moderate intake of legumes, nuts, and low-fat dairy products, and low intake of red and processed meats and sodium, was significantly associated with lower risk of coronary heart disease and stroke in women.
According to the USDA, a low-fat diet – as the name implies – is a diet that consists of little fat, especially saturated fat and cholesterol, which are thought to lead to increased blood cholesterol levels and heart attack.
Whether it's the New Year, the start of spring or the thought of peeling off layers for the summer, you might be thinking about how to start or restart a healthy low fat diet. Or perhaps a medical condition requires you to follow a low fat diet. That is why you need this well researched easy to use quick and easy low fat recipe book.
Here are some few tips that will help you to achieve effective results in your low fat diet practice:
Be realistic. If weight loss is your goal, don't set yourself up for disappointment or, worse, health problems. Make this a positive experience and start with small, achievable goals. Sustainable weight loss means losing no more than one or two pounds a week. If you choose to go on a crash diet, your body will ultimately balk: your metabolism will slow down and it will become harder to shed pounds as your poor body goes into preservation mode.
Restock your refrigerator and pantry with healthy, wholesome ingredients. Basically, substitute low-fat or fat-free products for their full fat counterparts. Buy whole grain pastas, breads and grains; and stock up with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Try to eat at least nine servings (4 1/2 cups) of these a day.
Drink water, and plenty of it. Water is essential for digestion, and also helps us feel fuller for longer. Sometimes we confuse thirst for hunger, so keep a bottle of water by your side and sip it frequently—you’ll probably end up eating less.
Get moving. It’s one thing to watch our intake of fat and calories, but to complete the transition to a healthier low fat lifestyle; we need to burn calories by doing some regular exercise. You don’t have to become a gym rat or necessarily invest in a fancy treadmill. Find a friend or persuade your partner to join you for a brisk 30-minute walk; exercising with a buddy will help keep you motivated. Again, set realistic goals. There’s no point starting a rigorous regime that you can’t keep up with. Do consult a doctor beforehand, especially if you have been mostly inactive until now.
