Lately, I have been craving greasy foods. Like right now I am dying for some chili cheese fries... I know that is bad - especially because I am trying to keep my weight under control... But what's a girl to do. "sigh"
There's nothing inherently wrong with greasy food. It's the quality of the food that's important. Remember that saturated fat is an excellent source of energy, it keeps you full and satisfied, and it's good for your heart and important for your baby's brain development. That's right, it's good for your heart! The idea that it's bad for you is based on a single study that was flawed. All other studies since then, don't hold up to the idea that it's bad for you. But again, there's the problem of quality. If you go to a fast food place and get chili cheese fries, yeah, they're going to be full of crap that is terrible for you. However, if you go out, buy the ingredients for chili, get good quality cheese, and get potatoes, you could totally make guilt free chili cheese fries! Go for it! As for your weight, the fat will help keep you satisfied so that you won't feel hungry as soon! For my breakfast, I ate an egg sandwich with cheese, bacon (good quality stuff), mayo, and fried tomatoes. That was at 8. It's 12 now and so far I've just had an apple. The calories and the quality of them (lots of saturated fat) has kept me satisfied thus far. I'm starting to need lunch, but I can hold off for a bit longer.
