Q. I want to lose weight for my holiday. I usually
just have a sandwich for lunch, but I like having real mayo - I don't
like the one with reduced fat.
Will this slow my weight loss?
A. In order lose weight
you need to reduce your intake of fat to about 25-30g a day. Just 1 tablespoon
of mayonnaise contains 110 calories and 12g of fat, which leaves very
little fat for the rest of the day.
If you can't switch to
fat-free mayo (10 calories per tablespoon) then try mixing it, half and
half, with the full-fat version. You will save 55 calories and 6g fat
per tablespoon.
Also, try other sauces
like flavoured mustards, horseradish, ketchup, salsa, barbecue or chutney.
Remember: In order
to lose weight and keep it off, we need to change our eating habits.
