We know as people that we all need to eat less fat but when you’re eating foods like take-away’s and eating fat food in restaurants there is no real way to tell how much you are exactly eating.

The only way to get a idea of the amount of fat you are eating is by reading the labels on popular produce that we buy, so with that in mind I decided to compile a list so that you can get a good idea of the amount of fat that may be in the food that you are eating, you may be that surprised at exactly how much fat there is in some foods.

So first up is drinks

All the other vegetables contain no trace of fat at all they were just listed as trace values which is not surprising because when people eat a diet that contains mostly vegetables and fruit they do tend to lose weight quite easily.

As you look through this list you will probably notice where or when you may have gone wrong with your eating habits and/or diet in the past which would have caused weight gain over a long period of time. We as people all need to eat consciously because that is the only way to lose weight effectively and keep it off.

I really do hope that you find this list useful and if needs be why not print it off so you can see exactly for yourself what things you need to avoid rather than eat.

Have a great day where ever you are.

The problem is not so much fat, but the type of fat. Many societies eat 50% or more of their calories from fat (I do also) and still stay slim. Any animal fat from corn-fed feedlot animals(everything in the grocery store and restaurants) is poor quality fat which contributes to heart disease and obesity. Hydrogenated and refined oils are artificial fats and cause the same problems. The fat in the American diet consists almost exclusively of these destructive fats
Meat, eggs and dairy from free-range, grass fed animals has a totally different profile and is very healthy and necessary for good health and is a superb appetite suppressant.
