Some dietary fat is needed for good health as they supply energy and promote absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Other fats, however, provide very few nutrients and are considered "empty" calories - meaning their energy value far outweighs their nutritive value. These are the calories that usually end up around our waist lines. And some fats, such as saturated fats, are linked to higher blood pressure and risk of heart disease. Low Fat diets come in many forms but generally adhere to the principal of lowering both your overall consumption of fat (no more than 30% of your daily caloric intake should come from fats), and saturated fat.

Eating isn't just for enjoyment. It can actually turn back the hands of time. The date on your birth certificate might make you 45, but there's no reason why your RealAge can't be 35 by simply following the guidelines laid out by Dr. Michael Roizen. One thing is certain about the RealAge Diet - credibility is key.

For years, there has been a good deal of debate over the effectiveness of a low-fat diet. Advocates of the plan say a diet low in saturated fat promotes weight loss and lowers the risk of heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, cancer and diabetes. When adhering to a low-fat diet, 20 to 30 percent of daily calorie intake should come from fat while 10 percent should come from saturated fat.

Bob Greene is no stranger to the weight-loss industry. As the right hand man of Oprah Winfrey, he has helped her stay at the top of her game for more than 10 years. He has been on her show countless times to tout his Get With The Program plan, along with his Total Body Makeover and Best Life Diet.
If you are looking for a legitimate weight loss program, is there any better endorsement than serving as Oprah's personal trainer?
