Low Fat, No 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 never been a fan of "low fat" dishes, or ingredients, and the few "no fat" items that have crossed my lips usually fell in the "disgusting" category. Usually they ended up in the garbage disposal as soon as no one was looking.
I will say there are a few low or no fat foods that actually make the grade. You find them by sticking to foods that are as close to their natural state as possible. Take Jersey tomatoes for instance, with a couple drops of olive oil, some balsamic vinegar, and a hint of salt and pepper.
There's watermelon as well.
Maybe some fresh cherries or 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.
Let's face it, it doesn't take Larry The Cable Guy to break down why Hot Pockets are bad for you, although it's a fun discourse if you get the chance.
If you want effective weight loss, one of the biggest keys is eating food in its natural state. Just watch a group of chefs eat the next time you can. You'll see simple dishes but with pristine ingredients.
It used to be a pain to get good ingredients for cooking.
But these days with a minimum effort, we can. So gradually introducing more natural stuff into your diet can be easy.
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. - 17268
