Food That Fight Fat

Soups

You've heard of value for your money.Soups give you very good value for the calories.
They are filling and satistying ; a bowl of soup can be an entire meal. For many people,
they are more satisfying than raw vegetables, while many give you all the benefits of veggies
(if you choose the soups full of vegetables). They are inexpensive, convenient, easy, and quick to make.
Soups don't make you feel like you're on a diet. Above all, soups are versatille. They can serve as a snack,
as a cooking ingredient; all fruits and vegetable - raw, cooked, fresh, frozen and canned.
Avoid any packaged fruits that have added sugar. Otherwise, the more fruits and vegetables you eat, the better.

Dressings and Dips

We recommend fat-free or light dressing and dips. The light category - low-fat, reduced- fat, and low calories
is midway between totally fat-free and regular, and it's often more pleasing to the plate than fat-free.
Dressings can be used as all purpose condiments, dips, toppings, even cooking liquids. They already
contain a mixture of ingredients, so just slather them on vegetables, seafood, and anything else.
Or cook with them to make up for the lack ok butter or oil.

Candy

Yup, candy. The real thing - not the dietetic variety is best when your sweet tooth starts aching.
Dietetic candies have almost as many calories as regular candies, often lack flavour, and are
an incentive to eat more. Stick to the real thing. Chewing gum or gum balls: any and all.
Hard candy : any and all, including sour balls, candy canes, lollipops.

Frozen Desserts

Any fat-free frozen yogurt, frozen nondiary substiture, or sorbet is a fine addition to the freezer.
Try the lower-calorie choices. Here are some examples:
Soft serve: up to 25 calories per ounce.
Hard pack: up to 115 calories per 1/2-cup serving.
Frozen bars: any others containing up to 45 calories per bar.
Individually packaged frozen bars: up to 110 calories each.

Snacks

Make it a point to eat starchy, crunchy snacks only in conjunction with any fruit or vegetable.
For example, have fruit with popcorn or soup with crackers.
Fill up on the former, and go easy on the starchy snack.

Protein Foods

Legumes: beans, peas, lentils, chickpeas.
seafood: fresh (do not fry!), smoked, canned and frozen.
