There is only one type of food to give up completely. That is fried foods. Give them up. Totally and completely, wipe them from your diet. I cannot stress enough how detrimental fried foods are to weight loss efforts and what a killer they are to your heart and arteries.

If you really enjoy fried foods, this will take some will power and perseverance, but you can do it. Once you have given them up for a while, if you grab a French fry off someone's plate, or eat some other fatty, fried food, you will feel a "coating" in your mouth. That coating is all fat. Imagine that same coating on your arteries. This artery clogging fat is a wax-like substance and that is precisely how it feels in your mouth once you have rid them from your diet. It is enough to keep you from going back to them as it is downright gross. Knowing what it is, this should be enough of a turn off to keep you from even wanting them anymore.

Fried foods also contribute to many stomachaches. They can give you diarrhea, heartburn, nausea and acid reflux, as they are slow to digest and sometimes act as an irritant to the stomach lining. I do have an E-book titled "Oven Frying for Your Heart", which includes recipes for fried fish, chicken and potatoes. Just check the E-book page. Try it. Be sure to incorporate the fat reduction methods in this instruction manual when cooking these, also. Do your best to make the changes permanent with all the recipes you use. It is truly not as difficult as one believes when first making these changes. In addition, you begin to feel better physically and frankly, what better motivation do you need!
