Q. I love creamy sauces and, even though I want to lose weight, I find
it hard to resist when eating out. Will this slow down my weight loss?
A. To reduce your body
fat in a healthy way, you need to reduce your calorie and fat intake.
So, the short answer is yes, the creamy sauces will slow down your weight
loss.
If you are serious about
losing weight, you should try getting into the habit of enjoying the natural
flavours of food rather then covering them in fat.
If you must have sauce,
then ask for it to be served "on the side" and add just a little
to your food.
Be aware that just
1/4 cup of Alfredo, bearnaise or hollandaise sauce contain nearly 20g
of fat.
