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.

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.

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."
