Low Fat Tips  | |  1. Eat at least three meals per day. Small frequent feedings is more recommended than eating a lot at once.
2. Eat more fruits, vegetables, grain and cereals such as rice, noodles and potato.
3. If you use butter or margarine, pat it on thinly. This foods are high in their caloric content.
4. Choose low fat substitute i.e. replace whole milk with skimmed milk, low fat cheese and sherbet.
5. Become a label reader. Look for foods that have less than 5 grams of fat per 100 grams of product. With this you could estimate the caloric content of that product.
6. Eat less high fat snacks and take aways (i.e. potato chips, sausage rolls,breaded meals).
7. Cut all visible fat from meat, remove skin from chicken fat drippings and cream sauces.
8. Aim for thin palm-size serving of lean meat, poultry and fish per meal.
9. Grill, bake, steam, stew, stir fry and microwave try not to fry.
10. Drink lots of water through out the day- its a good quencher. 8 glasses of water is enough, remember, drinking too much water will lead to water intoxication or hyponatremia. Be careful.
11. Start by walking for 10 minutes. Build up to 30-40 minutes per day. Go for 3-4 times per week of any exercise you enjoy.

| | 2.  Kowgirl (1750) | 2 months ago |  I think this may be a good diet to lose weight but it is not for people who
have diabetes, especially the rice, noodles and potato. These are what we have to stay away from or eat very, very little of. Last year I watched a man in a restaurant eat a large baked potato and he passed out before he could get out of the building. In a way this was good because he didn't know he was a diabetic until then. My son and I went to the hospital with him so we could contact his family. We have since become good friends and he laughs about what happened. We have to watch the fat and the carbohydrates in the foods we eat, both can cause a spike in our blood sugar.
If we eat any rice at all it is best to eat wild brown rice as it has not been processed like white rice. As for as potatoes ...the starch turns into sugar so fast it can cause us to pass out from high sugar levels. Now for the noodles they are bad because they are made from processed flour which is another blood sugar spiker. Noodles made from whole wheat flour or the slow digestible noodles we can eat but we still have to watch the amount. Some fats are actually good for the body. Diabetics have to learn what they can and can't eat by keeping a log of foods they eat and check their glucose 2 hours after every meal. This is a learning process that can make our life a healthier one or a sicker one. The secret to a healthier body is consuming lots of fiber.

| Negritos59 (1) | 2 months ago |  Negritos59: I agree with you about the carbohidrates, I think is much better to eat more fruits because they go straight to the blood and no need the insuline for be metabolized.

| Kowgirl (1750) | 2 months ago | Fruits tend to raise the blood sugar too so we can't eat as much as we would like. A half banana or half of a medium apple, or half an orange. But we can eat one cup of melon such as cantaloupe, watermelon or honey dew melon. Red Bing cherries and dark purple grapes actually helps reduce blood sugar so we can eat them more often or with other fruits. We all have to know what our bodies can tolerate by testing our blood to see what fruits do make our blood sugar rise so we will eat less of them. | |

(8829) | | I enjoy full fat milk. I ever bought the calcium or low fat milk but it doesn't taste good in my opinion. Only full fat milk will have a nice smell and flavor. So I prefer to drink it. | |
