Document Summary
Remember, however, that some fat is necessary for a healthy body and mind. Doing away with all fat is not desirable. Low-fat foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes will help you feel full. This helps you lose weight or control your weight. Avoid sugary foods such as candies, jellies and jams, honey, and syrups. These foods offer little nutritional value and tend to be converted to fat quickly. Limit alcoholic beverages, which provide empty calories -- calories that have no other nutritional value. Women should have no more than one alcoholic drink and men no more than two alcoholic drinks a day. An alcoholic drink is 4 ounces of wine, 12 ounces (one standard bottle or can) of beer, or 1 2 ounce of distilled liquor. Fasting may result in rapid weight loss, but most of this weight will be water and possibly even muscle.
