A diet that contains too much fat will likely make a person put on unwanted pounds. Each gram of fat provides nine calories, while carbohydrates and protein provide only four. Learn how you can substitute low-fat or fat-free foods for some of the fat-laden foods that you normally eat. You can introduce these kinds of foods into your diet gradually, and before very long, you may actually prefer them to foods that are saturated with greasy fat. When you take significant amounts of fat out of your diet, you're bound to lose weight and to be healthier.
