Fat-Fighting Tips
In order to help reduce your fat intake, choose lean cuts of meat and trim all visible fat before cooking. Avoid high- fat meats such as sausages, bacon and minced beef. Poultry should be eaten without the skin, and fish should be steamed, grilled, baked or micro- waved rather than fried. Sweet and savoury pies and pastries, biscuits, cakes, crisps and nuts are all high in fat and are best avoided on a slimming diet. Replace full-fat dairy products with low-fat alternatives.
You will probably lose 1.3 kg (3lb) or more during the first week of any diet, due to an initial loss of water from the body. Thereafter, it is best to aim for a steady weight loss of 450-900g (1-2lb) a week, which will result in a reduction of body fat. Increasing your calorie expenditure through regular exercise — three times a week for a minimum of 20 minutes — will help to burn fat, and tone up the muscles for a leaner shape.
