change your cooking oil 2


   Palm oil is HIGH in saturated fat (bad fat that increases one's risk of heart disease) so eliminate from your diet or use sparingly

    Please stop buying that concoction called 'groundnut oil' measured from drums and kegs in the open market.....protect your health.

   The oil we really should be consuming are the monounsaturated oils --extra virgin olive oil (though it does not have a high smoking point so its best used to cook over low heat for short period or added to food as salad dressing),

 macadamia oil, avocado oil(this has a high smoking point so ideal for stir fries, frying,grilling,searing etc)

High oleic sunflower oil

coconut oil (which has a high level of saturated fat but research has shown it aids weightloss and population that consume it a lot have not shown high incidence of cardiovascular disease)
  
Then I hear someone say but Eniola these oils are expensive---- all the better because you will then have to use sparingly in order to save cost #wink#

                                                                                                To be Continued

  1. Seriously, losing weight seems to be expensive as it isn't only the oils that are expensive but the fruits too. Only veggies are cheap around here and that could be discouraging to lots of folks who want to lose fat, It seems that the readily available and affordable meals are actually not healthy. Well, no pain, no gain so let's go there.

    1. You have just nailed it. Choosing to eat healthy anywhere is not cheap and fresh nutritious food does not keep so you need to put in extra effort and time. Junk dead food has a long shelf life so they are easily accessible
