Mustard for Fat Loss?

Col. MustardQ:Mike, I know that cream sauces should be avoided if someone is trying to lose fat. What type of sauces would not be bad to include in your diet during a fat loss phase? For example, ketchup, honey mustard, etc…

Mike: Great Question. When people start dieting the always think this means their food has to taste bland and they start cutting out seasoning, condiments, etc. This is just crazy! Diet foods and flavor do not have to be exclusive of each other. I have recently written about a great low sugar ketchup option. Mustard is another condiment that you don’t need to cut out. Regular yellow mustard or spicy/deli-style mustards are both low calorie and can offer a great flavor boost. Honey mustard may be the exception as it will have a higher sugar content but if you are crazy about honey mustard then you should definately be able to fit it into your nutrition. A couple other condiments that you can use to boost your foods flavor without worrying about hindering your fat loss are: horseradish sauce, Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, and Thai Garlic-Chili sauce (hot stuff!).
