Fat Substitute Reduces Calories of Everyday Meals without Affecting Taste
An all-natural, zero-calorie fat substitute known as “Z-Trim”, originally developed by the USDA is now available through FiberGel Technologies, Inc. Z-Trim can be added to food as an ingredient to replace traditional fats such as Crisco, cooking oils, lard, etc. or used in recipes to help people to lose weight without giving up the foods they love.
(PRWEB) June 8, 2005 -- Z-Trim, an all-natural, zero-calorie fat
substitute made from grains, which was originally developed by the
Agricultural Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is now
available through FiberGel Technologies, Inc. The Z-Trim fat
substitute has been shown to help people lose weight without giving up the
foods they love, or allow them to eat more of their favorite foods without the
fear of gaining weight.
By adding Z-Trim to their high fat foods such as
mayonnaise and butter, people can now lower their fat and calories up to 50%
without affecting the taste or texture of foods. One other major benefit is that
Z-Trim will improve digestion and does not carry any negative side effects
associated with some other fat substitutes.
“With the
Center for Disease Control declaring obesity an epidemic, Z-Trim is an ideal
solution,” said Triveni P. Shukla, Ph.D., Vice President of Technology
Development at FiberGel Technologies, Inc. “When Z-Trim is used to lower
calories in your food, you can eat more of the foods you love while staying
under your calorie allowance, and still lose weight.”
Z-Trim can be used
to lower calories and reduce fat and carbs in two ways: as a fat
substitute in any recipe, or by adding Z-Trim to store-bought products to
reduce fat. Z-Trim is safe to use in a wide variety of foods, including:
-
Dairy Products like ice cream, coffee creamer, and cream cheese
- Baked Goods
such as brownies, cookies, and cakes
- High-Fat Foods like gravies, dips,
salad dressing, and peanut butter
- Meat Products, including sausage, beef
patties, and marinades
- Beverage Products as a fiber supplement to juices,
soft drinks, and powdered drink mixes
- Candies, condiments, seasonings, and
soups
The Z-trim fat substitute is available in both gel and powder form,
making it suitable for use in both dry and wet foods. To order a trial supply of
