Low fat dancer's diet
From a strict liquid diet to regular visits to the gym or hiring a personal trainer, people spend thousands on getting the physique of their dreams. After all, a slim trim and luscious figure is what everybody desires, not mentioning a healthy long life.
Around 45 million individuals in America start dieting every year but only one-third of them achieve their goal.
Busy lifestyles just do not allow today’s dieters to give enough time for physical activities.
Benefits of a low-fat diet
A low-fat diet minimizes the use and consumption of unhealthy fat and cholesterol. Research has shown that people usually benefit from this type of low-fat diet and that they tend to shed fat faster. Patients suffering from high cholesterol are especially good candidates, as a low-fat diet is equally beneficial for those suffering from digestive problems.
When it comes to shedding fat, there is no alternative to a proper diet. The golden rule of losing weight is to aim for a proper caloric deficit (burn off more calories than you consume). Naturally, your calorie consumption will be much higher if you eat foods that are high in fat content. Foods to be avoided in your diet when you are on a low-fat diet are cheese, dairy products, butter, oils and red meats. Avoiding these foods will help you cut out fat along with its heavy calories and subsequently lose those extra pounds.
Breakfast
Just because you are on a low-fat diet doesn’t mean that your dishes need to be boring or less interesting, or that you will be left with nothing to eat. There are enough options that are both low fat and delicious. Let's start with the breakfast...
-
Oatmeal, Orange Juice, Banana and Coffee
This perfect combination will keep you full and active until launch. Moreover, none of this breakfast’s food items contain high cholesterol or any significant amount of fat, so you won’t have to worry about the fat consumption while staying full. -
Whole wheat biscuits with skimmed milk is another great way to start your day.
-
Make a fruit smoothie with one ripe banana, cranberry juice, and frozen red fruit
All these ingredients blended can be a great homemade fruit smoothie that can be served with healthy biscuits, making a perfect low-fat breakfast.
Lunch
-
Jacket potato with cottage cheese
A perfect low-fat delicious lunch. Just make sure your cottage cheese is fat-free. A plate of salad drizzled with low-fat dressing can also be your companion with this dish. -
Another very delicious low-fat lunch option is half a tuna sandwich with a stuffing of tomato, lettuce, and light mayo, served with a cup of low sodium vegetable soup, and an apple.
This combination is excellent for keeping you full for hours while satisfying your taste buds. You can cut the mayonnaise from the tuna sandwich to make the dish even leaner. -
You can have chicken pasta salad at launch or chicken Caesar salad with fat-free cheese or no cheese at all
Make sure any salad dressing you use has a low fat content. Pasta with tomato sauce is also a nice lunch while on the diet, but you should have it only occasionally due to its carbohydrate content.
Snacks
Being on a diet does not mean you have to say goodbye to snacks. Unhealthy snacks with high saturated fat content are not for you, but you can replace them with other delicious snacks that suit your new low-fat lifestyle. Snacks are a wonderful way to keep you full in between the meals, helping you consume fewer calories at main meal times. Good examples of low-fat snacks are:
- Fresh Baby Carrots
- Fresh Fruit
- Low-fat Popcorn
- Fat-free Yoghurt
- A Glass of 1% Milk
- A Small Side Salad
- A Cereal Bar
Evening Meals
As long as you limit the use of butter and oil when you cook, you will have unlimited choices for dinner.
-
Fish
Always a good option while you are on a diet, as it is low in calories and rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are good for the heart. A low fat dinner can consist of a half cup of brown rice, salmon with pineapple salsa, greens and a glass of wine; this can be a great delicious evening meal. A plate of cherries can also be added to the menu for desert. -
Spicy Vegetable Burgers
A great option for those missing their burgers and if you feel like you've had enough of fish! -
Mashed Bananas on Toast
A desert that tastes great and adds a different flavour to your new diet.
