What does diet involve?

What does the diet involve ?Every reducing-diet involves the amount of calories eaten to be less than the amount of calories used up. This means cutting down on the total amounts of food, especially fatty foods, and increasing daily activity and exercise. Enjoy what you do - a constant battle makes it much harder. HAVE LOW FAT MEALS AND SNACKS Throw your frying pan away and try grilling, baking, poaching, boiling or microwaving food instead (2 oz fat per day adds up to 500 unnecessary calories a week). EAT FISH AND CHICKEN MORE OFTEN AND RED MEATS LESS OFTEN Buy lean cuts of red meat. Limit portion sizes to 4 to 6 oz. Roast poultry or meat on a rack to drain the fat. Remove skin from poultry before cooking. USE SKIMMED OR SEMI-SKIMMED MILK All other milks contain more fat. Try low fat yoghurt instead of cream. TRY LOW FAT SPREADS rather than butter or margarine and spread it thinly. BUY LOW FAT CHEESE such as cottage cheese: Edam, Camembert, Brie are better than hard cheeses like Cheddar. Limit one portion of hard cheese to a matchbox size. Grated cheese goes further. ENJOY REGULAR FRUIT AND VEGETABLES All fruit and vegetables are recommended. Enjoy up to five or six portions a day (one portion is equal to one piece of fruit or a serving of vegetables). Grab a piece of fruit rather than raiding the fridge or the biscuit barrel. FILL UP ON HIGH FIBRE/HIGH CARBOHYDRATE CHOICES Bulky high fibre foods such as wholemeal pasta, wholemeal rice, wholegrain bread, etc. are more filling and curb hunger for longer. Carbohydrate foods, e.g. potato, bread, are good for you and should fill up your plate, along with vegetables at the expense of fatty protein foods.
