Fat reduction in the diet - a prescription for weight control
1981
Wedman-St. Louis, Betty
Abstract: By demonstrating the fat content of everyday foods, plastic food models encourage reduction of dietary fat intake. Models of bologna, American cheese, a chicken leg, hamburger, peanut butter, and a fish fillet are labelled for their fat content; yellow cubes representing 1 gram of fat can be used to make visual comparisons with other foods. Basic guidelines for planning low fat meals include eating at least 2 fish meals per week, using lowfat cheese, limiting eggs and red meat meals, and avoiding fatty foods such as hot dogs, luncheon meats, and wholemilk products. A low fat restaurant menu guide and low fat recipes also are featured. A model of 5 lbs. of human fat is included as a dramatic reminder of what happens to excess calories in the body. (nm).
