A low fat weight loss diet can not only help you to lose weight but also lower your cholesterol level. Losing weight is all about calories, you should eat fewer calories than you have done before. This is very important in your battle against weight loss. So skipping only food that contains no fat is not good enough, sugar for example contains no fat at all but it is very high in calories so do not eat sugar if you are follow a low fat diet. In fact it is not a good idea to eat sweet at all.

But we can’t live without fat, yes we need fat to stay in live. We call it the good fats, you can find good fats in nuts, sunflower oil, olive oil and fish oil.
