If you have to use an oil Extra Virgin Oil is best, health wise..it has antioxidants good for the heart. But if you are trying to loose weight try a spray like Pam or whatever else they have on the market now with 0 calories.

Avoid all fried stuff ,use groundnut or canola oil if you must and not more than 2 spoons per day. Be sure to use clarified butter (ghee) 2 spoons per day. Use plenty of fresh fruits and vegtables-- ideally 5 servings per day. And all dibetics must take a statin and aspirin pill a day to keep lipids normal and ward off stroke and heart attack.

It depends in comparison to what.  A boiled cauliflower stalk will always be better than an onion ring, no matter how many nutrients are leached away.\n\nThe best way to eat vegetables is washed and raw.  Second best is lightly sauteed or stir fried so they're a bit softer but still crunchy and fresh tasting.  Third best is steamed.  After that would be roasted or grilled and then boiled.\n\nThere's nothing wrong with boiled vegetables and they certainly are not a harm to your health.  But, the longer they are boiled, the more nutrients are killed due to the high heat.\n\nBy the way, nutrients don't "wash" away in boiling water.  They're killed/rendered ineffective due to the high, constant heat that permeates the entire item being boiled.\n\nHOW TO STEAM:\nFor under $20, you can buy a food steamer at Target or Wal-Mart.  It's a great investment.  You can steam veggies, poach eggs, cook rice, etc. in about 5-10 minutes for less effort and healthier results than trying to steam on the stove.\n\nHOW TO BOIL:\nPut pot on stove, add water, add veggies, turn on to high/medium-high heat and remove veggies when squishy. :)\n\nHOW TO SAUTEE:\nTake out a skillet and add some sort of fat (I recommend olive oil or safflower oil).  Turn to medium-high heat and let get warm.  Add veggies and let coat in the fat.  Keep tossing the veggies around until they start to give a little.  (For lower fat needs, reduce the oil and add a bit of water.  Also, use a stick-free skillet.)

Depends on what you mean by frying.  Are you talking about deep frying where the food is completely immersed?  If that's the case then it's not the healthiest choice for two reasons.  One, you batter or bread the food you are frying and that part is unhealthy.  It adds extra calories and they are empty calories.  Two, between the breading/batter and the fact that the food being fried is basically bathing in the oil allows a lot of the oil to penetrate and remain in the food.  Olive oil is the best kind of oil to cook with for your health because of the omegas, poly and mono unsaturated fats...bottom line your body needs fat to thrive.  It needs the right kind and the right amount.  Olive oil is the right kind but deep frying with it provides too much.  If you are talking about sauteeing, where you are only using a very small amount, say a tablespoon or two is the best.  Totally good for you.  I do that with my veggies all the time!

Incorporate spices in your diet.  Garlic is great, also vinegar cuts fat, as well as Hot pepper; which invigorates the metabolism. Just remember that if you are trying to lose weight you are not going to see that much of a difference unless you incorporate diet and exercise into your daily routine.

Use vegetable spray instead of oil, shortening, or butter. \nSteam vegetables using a low-fat broth or water. \nSeason foods with herbs and spices, vinegar, lemon juice, or salsa. \nUse low or sugar-free jams instead of butter or margarine. \nUse low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese, or nonfat yoghurt. \nEat chicken or turkey without the skin. \nBuy only lean meats and broil, roast, stir-fry or grill them. \nUse canola or olive oil rather than vegetable oils. \nBuy whole-grain breads and cereals. \n\nwhich you know by now...\n\nget up and way from the computer and start out by walking or doing something you know you'd enjoy doing that get's you up and out of the house....\n\nMy cousin is diabetic and he gets out and swims and runs and walks and does sports that help him stay in shape and have more engery to go on with life.... He's lost weight and feels better about himself....

This one works for me. Cut out the dairy, don't use oil or fat when cooking, make sure you eat a big variety of things, eat only small amounts of oil rich foods (nuts, seeds, olives etc), eat lots and lots of fruit and veg and whole grains (brown rice, wholemeal pasta and bread) so you don't get hungry, and regularly do some exercise. It is important that you eat a wide variety of different things.

the only way to lose weight is by exerting more energy than you put in.  for instance,  you eat a can of tuna that has 60 calories per serving and each can has 2.5 servings.  that's 150 cal right you would have to run 1 mile to burn 150 calories. (apx)  There is now magic pill that will take it off only proper diet and training.  It doesn't even matter what you eat as long as its not sugar and fat.  You just have to do more than you eat.

There are lots of ways, and I found two pages that can give you some tips -- also, in case its not mentioned, if you cant stay away from frying foods, try frying them in olive oil -- fried chicken is GREAT this way, as well as stir-frys. And olive oil is good for you v/s other oils and fats not being so good.

high fat diets are imbalanced,and unhealthy,excess fats overburden your liver,we need some fats in a healthy diet,and the right kinds...but not saturated fats like in most peoples typical diet\n\na good weightloss diet allows you to loose no more then 1-2 pounds per week.You need to loose slowly so that you do not lower your metabolic rate.\n\nEmphasize lots of vegetables,fruits,and legumes,small amounts of lean protein,and some nuts and seeds.Use the whole grains,instead of white rice,use brown,do not use anything made from white or milled grains.\n\ndrink plenty of water,and learn the portions and calories in the foods you eat,use olive oil,flax oil and monounsaturated fats instead of corn oil,and other damaging hydrogenated fats. \nStay away from sugar,proccessed foods and other junk.\n\nThis combined with exercise will start you on the right path,research and read books on fitness and diet,by checking them out from the library and educate yourself,that is a very important thing... GOOD LUCK!

Yes, but it is not a good idea. Stick to vegetable matter. The animal fat will cost more to render into usable fuel than anything else. Cooking grease and lard from bakeries and restaurants is used for fuel, again, heating fuel needs to burn a little cleaner than industrial applications. There is also the question of particulates in the oil clogging your burner and bacteria propagation.
