Hundreds of articles about weight loss ...
This group of foods includes margarines, butter, spreads and oils;
salad dressings; cream and ice cream; chocolates and sweets; crisps;
biscuits, cakes and pastries. In a healthy diet, these foods should not
feature too often, and when you do eat them they should only be in
small amounts.
Spreads can provide a lot of fat in an average
diet, so spreading bread thinly or using a low fat spread can make a
very big difference to the fat content of your diet. Use reduced fat
versions of salad dressings, and wherever possible, grill or bake food
rather than fry. And if you make a pie, just put pastry on the top.
Vegetable
oils are important in the diet in small quantities. They provide
essential fatty acids needed for healthy cell structure and to help in
producing important hormones. Monounsaturates found in olive and
rapeseed oils may be particularly beneficial as they help improve
cholesterol balance and lower total cholesterol.
