Low-fat food alternatives

[hatter1951]

"she, who must be obeyed" has been directed towards low fat food alternatives. The major supermarkets seem to offer low fat foods in the shape of yoghurt, or yoghurt, or if you are lucky, yoghurt. OK if you are on a yoghurt diet. Does anybody have a list or source of sensible low-fat alternatives, please?

This might put you in the right direction.

Watch out. Many of the so-called low fat foods are high in sugar instead. Some yogurts are included in that.

Also, don't confuse 'low fat' with 'no fat'. It's essential to have some fats in any diet. (The human body can't absorb many vitamins unless there are fats present in the intestinal tract. 'No fat' can easily result in 'no vitamins').

If someone asked me to suggest a really tasty (and fairly cheap) meal which contained plenty of 'good' fats (and none of the 'bad' ones), I'd be thinking of something like grilled sardines. (Fresh ones, from the supermarket fish counter, not the canned type).

My son did the Rosemary Conley Red Wine(low fat) diet some years ago, he lost 4 stone in one year. Shopping was basically anything 4 grams of fat (or under) on 100g portion, he doesnt eat yoghurt, so there are ways to survive! Good Luck!

low fat cheese, low fat spreads, low fat cooking sauces, low fat just about anything you want. you need to read the lables on all the things you usually buy and then look at the usually well labled alternatives. easy peasy.
