Where fats hide

Do you dream to lose weight, but either put it off every day and from year to year, or constantly try new diets, and as a result gain new kilograms?

Then try to figure out why you are eating. Perhaps the process of eating for you is not a holiday, you do not eat out of love for food and a beautifully served table. Perhaps with the help of food you are trying to alleviate stress, you are looking for consolation in food, you get food without effort, you absorb food in a hurry. Or even food is a remedy for boredom or a bad habit for you, such as chips, for example, while watching TV at night.
As a result, you do not have a feeling of satiety, and the number of calories is quite large.

It's time to fix the situation!
STEP ONE Pay attention to the quality of the food. Try eating better foods. It will probably be more expensive, but quality food tends to have fewer calories. Replace high-calorie alcohol with dry wines.
STEP TWO Try to eat more slowly, allocating special time for eating, and devote it only to food and nothing more. Seize the moment of approaching saturation, and at this moment finish eating. Do not eat up after yourself, much less after others. The fact is that the body gives a signal of saturation only after some time after it receives the right portion. Therefore, the faster you eat, the more excess food you absorb.
STEP THREE Check how greasy your food is. Fat cheese and sausages are a source of a huge amount of calories! And if you eat them with a thick chunk of white bread, generously spread with butter, then this is just too much saturated fats that increase blood cholesterol and quickly deposited on the hips.

TIP A regular ladle with a spout will help you remove excess fat from a roast or broth. Pour the roast juice or broth into it, wait a bit until the surface becomes flat and the fat collects from above. Now slowly drain the juice or broth, and leave the fat in a bucket.


If you want to reduce fat intake, first cross out animal fats from your diet. But do not abuse vegetable fats. For example, 100 g of roasted peanuts has as much fat as 200 g of the fattest fish - eel, and in sunflower seeds there is not much less than in peanuts. There is twice as much fat in herring as in salmon and almost 8 times more than in sea bass. Catfish, flounder and mussels are ideal products for weight loss.
In 1 tablespoon, 30% cream of fat is the same as 200 g of flounder and 200 g of som. And in 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise (50%) there is as much fat as in 2 egg yolks and 1.3 kg of boiled potatoes.
Seafood is the fattest shrimp, the most "skinny" - crayfish. Cod contains a minimum of fat, low fat is also found in river bass, flounder, pollock, pikeperch. Whitefish, carp, trout, halibut, sea bass - medium-fat fish. Sardines, herring, salmon, salmon and, of course, eel are very oily fish.
Most of us do not think of a day without a bun, a piece of cake, or at least 3-5 pieces of bread. Note that in whole-wheat bread there are three times as much fat as in wheat bread.And in apple charlotte, at least twice as much fat as in wheat bread. Well, if you eat a piece of biscuit roll with cream, then there will be at least 8-10 times more fat in it than in charlotte.
Least fat in vegetables and fruits, but do not classify them nuts. And there is as much fat in soybeans as duck meat. The fattest bird is the goose. Least fat in wild birds and young chickens. The amount of fat in meat varies markedly depending on the piece. For example, beef: its shoulder blade and brisket are much fatter than entrecotes, pulp of the hind leg and tails. Lamb is twice as fat as beef, and beef is almost three times as fat as veal.
Sausages are not worth mentioning at all. If you want to lose weight, discard them in favor of natural meat.
