You don’t have to quit the
foods you adore; you just have to find a new way of enjoying them. You can
still have fried foods, but you do have to make certainly sure you don’t have
them as occasionally when you may be having them now. The key is moderation,
and finding the right low fat oils to use while cooking.
For a long time people use vegetable oil
for low fat cooking because they thought it was better than use Crisco. At
least this was how it was in my family. As it turns out, vegetable oil is not
good for your heart, and you really should not use it when you are frying any
sort of food. You shouldn’t even use it for cakes or other recipes that may ask
you to add oil. For low fat cooking purposes, you must instead get Canola oil,
which is much better for you and your heart. You can use olive oil as well, but
remember that it has a distinct taste that may not go with all foods.
You have to remember that even though oil
may be good for your heart, you still have to cut down on how sometimes you use
it. It still has calories and most oils are rather dense in calories, which is
not good for your waist. Low fat cooking has come a long way, but you still
can’t overdo it with the oils. Remember that you can also use applesauce in the
place of oils in cakes and other baked goods to cut calories. You have to
understand that low fat cooking is a good idea for all parts of the meal, even
dessert.
You can find different varieties of great
tips about low fat cooking if you visit any of the sites online that deal with
dieting or cooking. If you visit the Food Network’s web presence, you will find
that they have all little people of recipes, and some of them are geared
towards low fat cooking.
This may be one of the best places to find recipes
because the chefs have come up with better methods to cut fat and calories but
they manage to make them dishes so that they still taste good, and that is all
that counts.
