No Fat, Low Fat, and Wo Fat
You must be the same age as me if you get the Hawaii 5-0 reference to Wo Fat, a villain from the old television show. A medical school classmate of mine got stuck with that for a nickname, and it fit him perfectly.
I've always hated low fat and no fat foods. They usually end up in the "disgusting" category in my book, and the garbage disposal in my home.
There ARE some low or no fat foods that taste pretty good. The key is to get them in as close to their natural state as possible. Like some good Jersey tomatoes with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, and balsamic vinegar.
How about watermelon with a touch of salt? Or not?
Fresh cherries? Peaches?
Salad can be excellent if it's pulled fresh from the ground.
But I'm a realist, and this doesn't happen every day, or even month. But when the opportunity presents itself, go for it. Your body loves these ingredients, as opposed to Pop Tarts, and microwaved mac and cheese.
The other thing is, most low fat and no fat items are really not food, but a sort of chemical construct. See if you recognize any of the ingredients. And most of them contain artificial sweeteners, which are just plain bad for you.
Just remember what Julia Childs once said. "If you want to lose some weight, eat a little less. You don't need to eat a 16 ounce steak, or a one pound potato. Butter isn't your enemy, gluttony is!" Don't forget to sound that out in her unmistakable voice.
None of us need a "Larry The Cable Guy" explanation of why Hot Pockets aren't good for you - although he does a hilarious job of doing so if you've had the pleasure.
Eating food in its natural state is also key to long-term weight loss. If you ever have the chance to see how a group of chefs eat, you'd be surprised. Everything on the plates would be simple yet with pristine ingredients.
It used to be a pain to get good ingredients for cooking.
But finding fresh food today is a lot easier no matter where you live in the U.S. So gradually add some of these kind of meals into your weekly routine.
There was a study I just finished reading showing that people who made changes in their diets, and I'm not talking radical changes, as well as supplemented with pharmaceutical grade fish oil, lost weight and kept it off.
That's good news. Simple changes in diet, combined with an ultra pure pharmaceutical grade fish oil are a dynamite combination.
So get started now and you won't have to spend any time reading old magazines in an overcrowded waiting room, if you know what I mean. - 17273
