Buy quality cookware

There is available quality cookware in department stores, the price is expensive but it uses will last long if you take good care of it.

When making sauces

If you use ground meat, dry the meat to golden brown, drain off all the excess fats, before adding the other ingredients. If it needs to add oil for cooking, choose which is high in unsaturates such as corn, sun flower, olive or rapeseed oil. Use little if possible.

When baking low fat cakes

Use good quality bake ware, which doesn’t need to add oil before use or use non-stick baking paper and only lightly grease before lining.

When baking foods

Such as chicken or fish, try to bake the food in a loosely sealed parcel of foil or greaseproof paper. Before sealing the food, add wine or fruits juice, herbs and spices.

When grilling foods

Fat is often unnecessary. If the food shows sign of drying, brush with a small amount of unsaturated oil such as corn oil and sun flower.

Microwave foods

Fat is rarely needed. Just add herbs and spices for extra flavour and colour.

To eat high fats food is easy than to do daily exercise is difficult: Don’t be a loser fight to burn your fats!

There in fats food are delicious to eat.
Food is everywhere because we eat everyday and the demands are too many. Before you eat, ask yourself if it is a healthy food and decide not to eat if it is give risk to your health.

There are a big percentage of fat people than those with normal weight because once fats food is not being use it will store in the belly. Don’t dare to let the fats stores in your belly, it destroys your beauty. You will always be beautiful if you are fit.Why is fat important because it is the source of energy.

The disadvantage when you’re fat is your day is not productive. Fat people want to sleep and rest because of the fats in your belly or in any parts that store of the body. After you eat your meal you feel sleepy and instead you have lots of work to do, your eyes will close and you’ll sleep.

When you wake up, you feel hungry again because the food that you eat was digested; you eat again until all the fats stores all over your body. Is it really what you want to live unhealthy? Or you stand up and burn your fats.

Try to observe real rich people like entrepreneurs they are fit, and they are not fat because they are busy of their business. And if I were you, if you have problem with controlling your eating habits try to divert your mind into other things that makes you enjoy.

Like for instance, playing with kids and or pets, gardening, playing your favorite sports, reading books, playing instruments and the most important make a habit that will burn your fats.

Accept your weakness that you can’t escape to eat fats food like butter, margarine, hard fats found in beef and pork. Pies, whole milk, cream, hard cheese, lard, salad dressings, fried food, fried chips, French fries, crisps, tortilla chips, fried snacks, chocolate cakes, muffins, doughnuts, sweet pastries, biscuits with chocolate flavored.
These foods are so yummy!
Wait! You can eat all these but challenge yourself to burn the fats! If not you are as big as a Bear!

The reason why people don’t miss to eat meal, to stay alive! To live in this world is a challenge to survive not to eat to become fats. To eat in a healthy way is to live longer. Fat or obsess people die early at their 40’s-50’s years of age because of heart attack.

Do you want this happen to you?

You make money to buy food for you and your family, just to make sure that you buy and eat healthy food or else your money is going to buy medicine.

Medicine is expensive than the food you eat and to think it is a waste of money. Your hard work is not effective because the minerals you mine are not intended for a better purpose.

Instead of having a great plan with your family to go for a vacation; it is being postponed due to health condition.

It is not easy to maintain healthy food to eat due to have a busy work. As long as the stomach must fill in food it is fine. Like for instance, a sales clerk in a bakery they don’t usually cook food at home, because anytime they can eat bread. As a result of eating bread always the belly stores lots of fats.

This woman is my big sister, she is currently working as sales clerk in Julie’s bakes shop and now it has new name Mang Tinapay.

I am concern of her health because she had two little children and she told me that she had arthritis and her one hand can not feel. I weighed her she is 79-80 kilos and her height is only 5’0 so, she is over weight.


One time I challenged her to go exercise and once her weight decreases I gave her money as a reward, I did that for her strong motivation that time she was excited but she did not made it because after her work she lied down and sleep.

Fortunately, she is healthy now because my mother is always cooking vegetables soup and she is eating well. I do hope that someday she will realize how important to take good care of health.

Guys if you want change make it now or else you will regret for the rest of your life. Being fat is not bad but obesity is a sin because God made you to be a healthy person not a sick one.

Why Is Fat Important in a Diet to benefit for health

 I read information from the book of Low fat low cholesterol and it was clear in my mind how important to know the fats in my diet.

Fats is useful in our body, there is no need to take out all fats contains, because fat is a valuable source of energy that gives a person a strength to do his every day works. Fats also help to make the food more delicious to eat.

On the other side, it is not good to eat more fatty food because it develops diseases such as heart disease, cancer and obesity. To maintain low fats especially saturated fats it has good benefits to your health and it helps to lose your weight.

An average intake of 2000 calories daily it must limit only 30% of energy, and only 600 calories from the average daily calories. Each gram of fats provides 9 calories; your total daily intake should not excess 66.6g fat. Your total intake of saturated fats should not excess 10% of the total calories.

How Saturated fats works and benefits in our body?

Saturated fats- are fats which it should be reduce; it develops the level of cholesterol in the blood.

All fats in foods are made of building blocks of fatty acids and glycerol.
There are two kinds of fats; saturated and unsaturated.
The unsaturated group is divided into two types; polyunsaturated monounsaturated fats.

Fatty Acids are made up of chains of carbon atoms. Each atom has one or more free bonds to link with the other atoms, so the fatty acids transport nutrients to cell throughout the body. This bond is useful and important because the atoms can form any links and helps to process the fatty acids into energy, not store as fat into the body.


Main Sources of Saturated fats

1. Animal products- such as meat, fats from butter and lard that is solid at room temperature.
2. Vegetables products origin- coconut and palm oils and some margarine and oils, which are processed by changing some of the unsaturated fatty acids to saturated ones it is labeled “hydrogenated vegetables oil” and should be avoided.

Polyunsaturated fats- those of vegetables or plant origin (omega 6) such as sun flower oil, soft margarine and seeds (omega 3). Small quantities of these fats are good for health and help reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood.

Monounsaturated fats- have beneficial effect of reducing the blood cholesterol level. This fat are found in food such as olive oil, rapeseed oil, nut such as almonds and hazel nuts, oil fish and avocado pears.


Tips:
Most processed food products contained hydrogenated vegetables oil. Limit to buy processed goods because it is dangerous to your health if too much eating this food. 

Cook with natural ingredients to keep you healthy. Although, it is not really bad to eat and buy processed food but try to limit it. Balance your diet as always.

This book have lots delicious recipes to learn, from the title itself, ingredients are healthy.
