A reduction of 10%, from 35 t0 25% would be considered safe for most people. Given that trans and saturated fats are of little use to the body and are sometimes responsible for the onset chronic of ailments, a reasonable reduction in the number of calories coming from saturated and trans fats may be beneficial to weight watching individuals. Such overall reduction is the equivalent of removing 200 calories daily from the average 2000 cal. daily intake, provided the quantity of the other nutrients stays the same. Most of the time, it is rather surprisingly easy to remove the unwanted fats from a diet. For example, let us assume you want to purchase some food, say a can of cream of chicken, comparing the food labels will already be enough to determine your choice. A can of "No-Name" brand cream of chicken can sometimes contain as much as 2.5 grams of saturated fat per 125ml. Another brand, say Campbell's reduced fat cream of chicken will contain only 0.5 gram saturated fat, 0g trans fat. Choosing the reduced fat product represents an 80% reduction in the unwanted types of fat. A quick scan of one's pantry shelves can also be very revealing and helpful . http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_026.htm Sat, 31 Jul 2010 17:54:46 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_026.htm#3 Separating good and sound weight management principles from... the gimmicks http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_026.htm Sat, 31 Jul 2010 17:54:46 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_026.htm#4 covering the use of planned, regular and balanced nutrition coupled with reasonable exercise levels to master weight issues, the basics to lose or control weight http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_026.htm Sat, 31 Jul 2010 17:54:46 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_026.htm#5
