Avoiding Trans Fat to Lose Weight

J0422669 If you are watching your weight particularly around fats just remember that trans fat maybe more fattening than regular fats, in addition to causing high cholesterol and maybe even cancer. Here are some tips to keep avoiding them:

Consider eating out less. Many restaurants still use trans in their cooking and if they do, frequently the waiter doesn’t always know it.  He may say they use vegetable oil, but he may not know if the vegetable oil is hydrogenated or not. If it's hydrogenated it's a trans fat.

Avoid other trans fats by eliminating processed foods as much as you can. Carefully scrutinize your labels on the products you buy. Remember even if a label states it is has no trans fats, a manufacturer can still use one half a gram per serving and still label that product trans fat free. If you see the word hydrogenated in the actual ingredient list it still has some trans fat in it. Food manufacturers are allowed to use a half a gram per serving.
