Secret Low Fat Diet

Everyone wants to go on a low fat diet. The majority of fats and oils isn't doing the human body any favors, especially trans fat and saturated fat.

On the other hand, protein is good for the body because it helps build muscles. If you want those biceps to grow and keep healthy, go on a high protein diet.

So okay. Go on a low fat protein diet. That's easy, right?

Wrong.

It should be noted that most foods with protein also has high amounts of fat in it. Meat is chock full of proteins, but it's got lots of fats as well. How do you eliminate fat without running low on proteins?

The secret is cooking food the right away. For example, people will tell you that seafood and fish are high on fat, but that's because they only know how to eat breaded shrimp or deep-fried fish. Your friend will say, "This is bad for you because it's filled with saturated fat," while eating at Kentucky's.

Here's for the record. Seafood and fish are okay as long as it isn't breaded or deep-fried. Chicken and turkey are okay, too, as long as you only stick to the white meat and remove the skin before you eat it. The skin is everything that goes against a low fat protein diet.

Beef is a little different. Certain cuts of beef are fine, the rest are bad for you. Consult with your dietician about which specific cuts of beef to avoid during a low fat protein diet.

As long as you watch what you eat, you should be just fine.
