Fighting Fat: What's New and What Works!

MAKE SMART DECISIONS

Order the starters Begin meals with a broth-based soup or low-fat salad of no more than 150 calories, and you'll eat less of the main course. These foods are low in calories, but high in fibre, protein and filling vegetables.

Put out the fire Reduce Trans and saturated fats processed foods, which stimulate inflammation in the liver and contribute to diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension. Eat more natural foods and inflammation-quenching omega-3 fats.

Drink Up Studies shows that for some it's easier to lose and maintain weight with meal replacements, such as Slim-Fast or Ensure, than trying to estimate the calories in meals.

Avoid long labels Eat a lot of foods with one ingredient. A banana's only ingredient is a banana. When buying products in a bag, box, bottle or jar, it's usually good to look for short lists on the labels.

Eat naked Load up on fruits and vegetables, but make sure that they're not covered with fat, salt or sugar. And pick unsalted, raw (not roasted) nuts.

Cut the Fat Protein and carbs have four calories per gram. Fat has 9. When you eat less fat, you take in fewer calories without eating less.

Go whole grains Refined carbs (white rice, pasta, noodles, bread) are quickly absorbed and converted into fat, so choose whole grains instead.

Get wet Eating food that has high water content, like broth-based soup, fills you up more than sipping water with your your food.

Use the 2/100 rule Eat fibre-rich foods to reduce the number of calories it takes to feel full. Choose bread, cereal and crackers with at least two grams of fibre per 100 calories.

Dump liquid calories Cut calories in a cup. Cut one soda a day and you can drop about six kilograms in a year.
