Most of the foods nowadays are processed and as much as possible, we should minimize the usage of it for health reasons. The best thing to say is, to avoid gaining weight or if we want to lose weight we should avoid fatty foods and also we should do regular exercise.Nolanhttp://www.americanmedicaltech.com/modern-clinical-research.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-29404494565550982432012-10-26T19:34:21.644-04:002012-10-26T19:34:21.644-04:00In his book "Eat to Live" (which Crabby ...In his book "Eat to Live" (which Crabby reviewed, Dr. Furhman makes a good analogy about "low fat" foods. Take a glass of with 98 tablespoons of water in it. Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter. The result is 98% fat free, but 100% of the calories come from the butter. Its not necessarily the fat % of the food you are eating, but the source of the calories.

If the low fat foods you're buying has fructose, it means that it is really not a low fat foods.

Not foods labeled as "low fat" or "low calorie" that often encourage society to over indulge as it's 'better for you.' I worked for 2 years as a Preschool Teacher before I began working FT from home and those kids knew MORE about Nuggets than they did fruits or vegetables! It was MY JOB to teach them about the foods on their lunch plates and how it helped their bodies. Nutrition education starts at HOME and it's really up to US to teach the next generation that food doesn't come from a box or bag in the freezer section & a microwave is NOT the only cooking appliance needed.Lindsayhttp://www.freefitwealthy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-70652844326183816512012-09-01T09:20:26.018-04:002012-09-01T09:20:26.018-04:00That was very informative and I couldn't agree...That was very informative and I couldn't agree with that more. Indeed people in general equates low fat food with loosing weight, which may not always be the case since there are still a lot of factors involve, such as the calorie count. In my opinion, the best way is by reducing portion sizes and paying attention to the amount of calories that we intake.Aussie Strengthhttp://aussiestrength.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-37582931852998397082012-08-27T05:47:12.349-04:002012-08-27T05:47:12.349-04:00ahhh it all makes me think of SUSAN POWDER and my ...ahhh it all makes me think of SUSAN POWDER and my beloved SNACKWELLS :-)Mizhttp://mizfitonline.com/2012/08/27/living-not-blogging-were-back-to-the-second-wave-edition/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-19355133359763118892012-08-27T00:01:07.908-04:002012-08-27T00:01:07.908-04:00Anything in excess is added fat.

Controlling how much you eat and how much you consume daily, may help in figuring out how much you need to burn. If you take in this much then make sure to burn just as much or even more to maintain your weight.Carlohttp://www.papasweightloss1.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-12196989951615717082012-08-26T12:15:22.098-04:002012-08-26T12:15:22.098-04:00The National Weight Control Registry monitors peop...The National Weight Control Registry monitors people who have lost weight then kept it off. They say that the majority of the people they monitor have a low fat high carbohydrate diet. These are people who have to deal with the "former fat person's reduction in metabolism, compared with a never fat person", yet are successful in maintaining. So, given that, I don't believe that "low fat foods are making us fat". What is making us fat is overeating. Too many inexpensive, yummy foods, in an environment where the majority of people are already overweight. It doesn't matter whether we overeat fat or carbs (personally I could never have a protein binge).Manniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04119332802138490071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-21705415147410107212012-08-26T08:07:43.939-04:002012-08-26T08:07:43.939-04:00I've always been skeptical about "low fat...I've always been skeptical about "low fat" food, they're overrated and do more harm than good in some cases really. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.southpacifichc.com.au" rel="nofollow">Elwood Gym, Melbourne Yoga, Melbourne Pilates</a><br />Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703472925835855819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-37617454365770095002012-08-24T15:31:13.892-04:002012-08-24T15:31:13.892-04:00When people see something that is "low fat&qu...When people see something that is "low fat" they think that means that they can eat more.
