Dairy Products and Fat

Dairy Products and Fat

Cheese / Butter/ Margarine

Amongst the butters, the low fat options (lite, nutralite margarine) are better options than standard butter as they are lower in saturated fats and calories.

But cheese spreads, cheese are a better fat option than any kind of butter too as they are lower in calories and include the benefits of protein and calcium too. But as it is still high on fat the portion size needs to be restricted.

Low fat dairy products

Low fat dairy products like milk, paneer are a better option for diabetics, heart patients and obese people as they are lower on cholesterol, saturated fats than their standard counterparts.

However, a normal adult and child with healthy weight can opt for the medium fat variants as the fats provide essential fatty acids for brain development, vitamin D, A which are important too.

When i was badly suffering from overweight, one of my friend suggest me Slim Guard. Within first few week of it usage itself i could feel the real difference. Ayurvedic Slimming pills are really effective. Slim Guard proved it. You may get more information about slim guard from Internet...Thanks :]

Self control with dieting and exercise would still be the best. I also believe that losing weight has to be done gradually, else, impending complications might happen to the body. For morbidly obese people who can't seem to lose weight, diet pills can be an option. It's true that most diet pills, if taken in the wrong manner can bring real dangers to the body. Now to know the right one for you, try asking an expert or seek medical advice before popping those pills. That's what I did with prescopodene. While on the pill, I took advantage of the energy booster as somehow, being active can help you keep up with your gym sessions. Losing weight can never be easy, but it can be possible without having to suffer serious side effects. Just sharing my piece. Cheers!
