Healthy family recipes: Low-fat foods are not magic solution
People putting together healthy family recipes need to ensure that they do not rely too heavily on low-fat products, according to one newspaper, which said that they can contain more sugar than consumers may realise.
The Daily Mail reported that low-fat foods can be part of a balanced diet, but it said depending too much on them will not help create healthy family recipes.
"Whether it be cereal bars, yoghurts or ready meals, low-fat options are always tempting if you are desperate to lose weight. But ... they could have just as many calories as 'high-fat' alternatives," it stated.
The newspaper added that it might be better for people trying to create healthy family recipes to have a smaller portion of a standard dish rather than opting for low-fat foods.
In other news, the Times recently reported that avocados can be part of healthy family recipes and contain around 132 calories, which is less than the amount in 100g of hummus or 50gs of pumpkin seeds.
