The good food list

continued from page 2
The B list

  • Packaged snack foods: crisps, sweets, chocolate bars, doughnuts, biscuits, desserts, cakes and pretzels.
  • Animal fats: aim to reduce your intake of animal fats, such as butter, as these are rich in saturated fats and can lead to the development of heart disease. Instead, replace with vegetable oil, corn, sunflower, soy and olive oils.
  • Sugar: this may be the hardest to give up and you may have to do it gradually. Remember that table sugar is its most obvious form but there are many other ways in which sugar sneaks its way into our food (hint: look at the label on your cereal package).
  • Fizzy drinks: try to cut down as much as possible and go for reduced - or low- calorie versions if you can't live without them. Whenever possible, choose water because it's the best thirst quencher by far.
  • Fruit juice: if you're a fruit juice fan, don't worry. You can still include these as part of your weight loss programme, but try going for the ones that are 100% natural without any sugar (check the label).
  • Coffee: the amount of calories consumed by people who drink designer triple frappuccinos (or whatever the sugar-laden latte du jour is) are helping to expand many a waistline. Limit these drinks in your diet.
  • Starches: not all starches are bad. Contrary to popular belief pasta, rice and potatoes do have a place in your diet. Unfortunately, if fat loss is a goal, you will have to think carefully about the sauces that you add to them. Sweet potatoes (or yams), oatmeal (not the instant kind, but the steel-cut, slow-cooking type), beans and lentils are fine - just limit the size of your portions.
