With all the attention on low-carb diets in the past couple of years, low-fat food seems to have faded into the woodwork. When you're focussing all your attention on finding sugar-free snacks and low-carb breads and pastas, it's easy to forget about the importance of keeping your fat intake to a minimum. While there are some "good" fats such as those found in olive oil, fish oil, and avocados, in general, a weight loss plan needs to include a lot of low-fat food.

So why is low-fat food so important in reaching and maintaining fitness goals? This is because ounce per ounce, fat has more calories in it than protein or carbohydrates. A cup of butter has several times the amount of calories as a cup of tuna or a cup of rice, for instance. That's why it's important to include lots of low-fat food in a sensible diet plan. At Heavenly Diet Store, we carry a wide selection of low-fat foods in addition to vitamins, supplements, diet videos and books.

At Heavenly Diet Store we like to think of low-fat food as being divided into two groups: natural and man-made. Natural low-fat foods include fruits and vegetables and proteins such as fish and chicken. Man-made low-fat foods are a dieter's dream come true, as they can include tasty variations of high-fat treats such as low-fat ice cream, cookies, chips, and even pizza!

We carry a huge selection of low-fat food items because we know that for a diet to truly succeed, it must not leave the dieter feeling deprived. Who wants to give up all of their favorite foods for the rest of their lives? With yummy low-fat snacks and meals, you can have all the taste you want without the extra calories.
