How to reduce fat consumption

When we talk about the presence of fats in the daily diet, we can distinguish two main groups: visible fats and hidden fats. In this section you can find tips how to reduce your fat consumption in both groups.

• For dinner: try to reduce your fat consumption by using different preparation methods.  For example, grill, braise, steam, stir fry, poach, etc.
• If you do nevertheless use fats: use 1x tablespoon per person when preparing the main meal + just a scraping of vegetable based spread per slice of bread.

• Reduce portions (stick to 1 biscuit, less butter or fill sandwiches sparsely, have a small bowl of crisps rather than the whole packet, etc.)
• Use alternative products (low-fat cheese and dairy products, snack on healthy cereals, low-fat sandwich fillings, replace ice cream with sorbet, etc.)
• Try to eliminate truly fatty foods (e.g. go for raw vegetables with a low-fat dip rather than crisps as aperitif, replace fatty sandwich fillings with low-fat products such as chicken, roast beef, low-fat smoked meat or fish).

There are times when it is not always possible to control your fat consumption - for example, when you cannot resist temptation, when it’s not always easy to cook a low-fat meal, when you have a party coming up or when you have to eat elsewhere...  XLS Medical Fat Binder can help you.
