The Internet's Premiere Dietary Health Resource
When there's already hundreds of cookbooks and dozens of cooking journals, you may be asking: why do we need Low Fat Living on the Internet?
Our mandate is to be a practical guide to help the average person -- like you and me -- achieve a low-fat lifestyle without changing their entire life.
This is not a new fad diet. It's been shown again and again that diets don't work. Lifestyle change does. In order to keep weight off, you must change your eating habits and exercise moderately. And of course, there are the health benefits of eating low-fat, such as reduced risk of heart disease and cancer.
You'll only be able to maintain a lifestyle change, such as the switch to a low-fat lifestyle, if you incorporate your own habits, likes and desires into your new lifestyle. That's where Low-Fat Living can help.
We'll give you ideas and information on what you should eat: healthy snacks, tasty meals, fabulous desserts. We'll provide expert tips and tricks to help you modify your favourite recipes to lower fat without sacrificing taste. There'll be lots of new recipes, all using simple, readily available foods. And we'll give you information to help you choose lower fat foods when you go out. We'll help you learn to modify your eating, shopping, and cooking habits to achieve and maintain a low-fat lifestyle without eliminating the foods you love.
One of the keys to achieving a long-term lifestyle change is not to restrict the foods you love. No one can stick to that kind of regimen for any length of time. If you maintain a moderate, healthful diet -- with exercise -- you'll be able to indulge once in a while and not feel guilty. If you love french fries, don't stop eating them -- learn how to make them the low-fat way. If you crave cheesecake, don't deny -- indulge! But indulge in a lower-fat version.
In this issue, you'll find out why low-fat is a great lifestyle to adopt, which foods to choose when eating out, fabulous recipes, how children can benefit from a low-fat diet, and more.
Here's to finding your low-fat lifestyle! Bon Appetit!
