00:00I'm about to change your life forever to imagine your
00:04favorite guilty pleasures pizza mac and cheese lasagna at half
00:09the fat and half the cow.
00:13I said it's not just your local market to find 5 low-fat
00:17comfort foods and how he's going is always good at this
00:19came back with privacy says that you will love that you
00:22will not be able to tell the difference between these and
00:24your old-time comfort foods, thank you very much for joining
00:27us to start with the all-time favorites pizza.
00:30Okay, so this is cautious mushroom trio and spinach that
00:34typical one one 3rd of the pizza is a serving so 3rd of the
00:38pizza 3rd of the pizza and if you compare that a typical
00:41serving 16 grams of fat. This is 9 grams of fat.
00:45Okay now.
00:51By and you want that mouthfeel that's what's driving the
00:54comfort food sensation. So there's still cheese and
00:57that's important we don't go no fat necessarily a fat helps to
01:01satisfy us and taste good we need to pull hormones and lots
01:03of different things so you still get that mouthfeel but
01:06then they reduce the fat and the cross because it's cautious
01:10that whole grain class to get 4 grams of fiber and it helps to
01:14fill you up. So 250 calories is a serving that's probably not
01:17quite enough for dinner, but you have room now to add a side
01:20salad has some food.
01:21A dessert.
01:23Mac and cheese is next on the food, you know pushing before
01:27what's the best low-fat version of this okay, so this is
01:30Annie's homegrown deluxe shells and Wisconsin chatter it's a
01:33mouthful is about 4. One cup typical serving 17 grams of
01:38fat, this is 10 grams of fat is good.
01:46That makes you you don't need to use as much cheese because
01:48the cheese of course that is so part of all of our comfort
01:50foods dries up that artery clogging saturated fat and so
01:55every time you reduce cheese are going to reduce some
01:57calories to do some fat. The other thing is in preparation,
02:01they don't use any butter and he's low fat yogurt and skim
02:04milk which is something everyone could try to get your
02:06food at home. Substitutions where you're still getting
02:09creamy and salty which is that sensation again, but at a much
02:13lower.
02:14That we should be.
02:18I love the Zionist and I know that a lot of folks use them as
02:20our comfort food, but with the cheese next to the carbs are in
02:23there to the shy's pushes us away from what we want to do
02:26but we have an alternative so this is Amy's light and lean
02:29spinach lasagna and of course the minutes not meet you're
02:32going to have less fat. I really like that you keep
02:35going to have the okay, so to keep this is a 250 calories.
02:39It's typical it's 2 thirds less fat than a typical other brand
02:45right.
02:51How do you like this for an idea we're talking about
02:53comfort food for mealtime, but really would you have this is a
02:57snack.
03:00I like that for most women a snack is anywhere from a 100 to
03:06300 calories depending on how you distribute your calories
03:09for the rest of the day. So here it is for in the
03:11afternoon when you grab a candy bar that could be 280 calories
03:16doesn't last very long, it's not bridging the gap to dinner
03:19and there's no nutrition. This is a comfort food, 250
03:22calories pop that in the microwave you are satisfied.
03:31Next up to the Popeye I actually don't know how you
03:33cheat on to the Popeye but they have managed to do it you found
03:36something that's a miracle here.
03:37Take away okay, so this is Blake's chicken Popeye one
03:41package, 33 grams of fat in a typical serving in place it is
03:46now 17 grams of fat. But what they do is they don't have the
03:49crust on the bottom, it's top only so that now feel that
03:53first sensation is that he crossed and then you save the
03:57fat and again you can do this on whether making a fruit pie
04:00just on top or crumble just sprinkle it so you get it
04:04without having all of that butter mixed and I think it's
04:07very smart to look at what manufacturers able to do to
04:09cheat some of the calories out and to copy that in our homes,
04:12not a good example, we get to use your life.
04:16The best of all that you know what's a little fast version
04:19here. I want to ask you how to taste the way describing this
04:22is all right, a steamed steam and mash cut russet potatoes,
04:26what a concept actually steam something right so that that
04:30matching is where the creaminess usually comes in
04:32when it comes to potatoes and what we think.
04:35We have a vote. Let's just have it for dinner tonight,
04:39a few. You know what.
04:49There is 0 fat it is there's 0 fatness can can have no fat at
04:55all and I will say it's the creaminess the mashing that
04:58really again drives that taste wonderful find as always thank
