What foods are low in fat and sugar? The more, the better.

Low-fat food refers to foods with a small proportion of triglycerides and cholesterol, with the aim of limiting the supply of fat. Low-fat food includes fat and cooking oil contained in the food itself.

Low-fat foods mainly include: beef liver, mutton, chicken, sturgeon, flounder, clam meat, crab meat, shrimp, bean juice, bean sprouts, potatoes, yam, carrots, rape, celery, cauliflower, wax gourd, cucumber, tomato, tofu, vermicelli and so on.

Low-sugar foods generally refer to foods with low sugar content, which are within the scope permitted by national standards. Skim-free sugar products are not really sugar-free, so everyone should pay special attention when purchasing.

Low-sugar foods mainly include brown rice, oats, buckwheat, konjac, milk, soybeans, mung beans, cherries, kiwis, pears, grapefruit, bitter gourd and spinach.

Some misunderstandings about low-fat and low-sugar foods;

Myth 1: "Low fat" means low calories.

At the sight of the words "low fat", many consumers feel that such products can be eaten with an open stomach. In fact, after professional testing, most "low-fat" products are not necessarily low in calories.

Myth 2: "Fat-free" and "sugar-free" do not mean that there is no fat and sugar.

The so-called sugar-free, in fact, is only a low sugar content, within the scope allowed by national standards, fat-free foods are not completely fat-free.

Myth 3: "Trans-fat-free" foods have low fat content.

Fat is divided into "saturated fat" and "unsaturated fat". "Saturated fat" is often harmful to human health, because it will make human cholesterol too high, while "unsaturated fat" generally does not cause this problem. Although trans fat belongs to unsaturated fat, its special chemical structure often causes arteriosclerosis, thrombosis and other problems. Just like sugar, every serving of food whose trans fat content does not exceed the standard requirements can be labeled as "no trans fat", but it may mean more "saturated fat+trans fat".
