If it isn’t one thing its another, there seems no end to the warnings we get concerning our eating habits. The latest craze seems to be that of cutting our salt intakes, apparently we are all unaware of the quantities of salt we imbibe on a daily basis. We don’t read labels and are a bit lackadaisical when it comes to our eating habits. Well I guess I fit pretty neatly into that category being that I basically eat what I like when I like. I do kind of watch a little but generally what and when I like.
I’m not overly overweight but I like most of us probably could do with losing a few pounds. I’m not keen on giving up anything that I particularly like, so sugar stays in I may change from my usual dosage to a smaller proportion but that will of course depend totally on how I feel at that specific moment when the decision has to be made. One way of reducing your fat intake without too much hassle is to stop cooking those foods which require frying in heaps of oil. You know one inch of oil in the pan and then just chuck in what needs frying. Not healthy but they taste good don’t they.
Another alternative, which incidentally works out way cheaper as well, is to fork out 90p for 250ml of Fry light spray oil. It comes I a nice plastic container with a pretty bright yellow top. The top has red writing on it stating that it is the only 1 cal spray, and indeed since I have failed to find another I have no reason to doubt this claim. The bottom half of the spray bottle (which does look remarkably like a can of air freshener) is delicately patterned with sunflowers and has the maker’s emblem emblazoned across the front in large green letters. Below this emblem in small letters and in a light red colour is the word light. Beneath this there is a depiction of a measuring tape, which I guessing is to provoke the reader into interpreting the product as one, which will loose these extras inches. You are undoubtedly going to lose a little weight using this since your food is not going to be swimming in sunflower oil of vegetable oil should that be your thing.
Information down the side of the spray bottle indicates that one actuation of the spray will produce a squirt of sunflower oil with a fat content of .1gms if however you decide to use 4 squirts into a 10” pan say too cook an omelette then the fat content rises to .4gms . It also claims that each calorie of Fry light replace up to 30 calories from conventional cooking. It does also state that using Fry one cal requires you to cook on a slightly lower heat and that this in conjunction with the oil will reduce sticking.
So to the cooking test, I decide as you might have guessed from a hint earlier on to cook and omelette in a 6” frying pan. I used three squirts of the spray and as I sprayed I kind of waved my hand to coat the surface of the frying pan. It is advised not to heat the pan first. Switched on the gas a slowly heated the oil, then added my omelette mixture. Shuffling the pan about to avoid sticking I have to say there wasn’t a hint of it. The mixture moved nicely around the pan. When I thought my omelette had reached the crucial point I added some grated cheese and a little chopped onion, waited a minute or so for the cheese to melt and then folded the omelette onto my plate. NO STICKING or hint thereof.
My dish tasted pretty much as it always did, but I did notice that there was no oil running around my plate as previously noticed. No one wants oil that is going to overpower his or her food whilst cooking, and this certainly doesn’t, in fact you’d hardly notice it was there which I guess is the general idea. So to that extent it is a success. All in all I think I might easily be sticking with this if you forgive the pun. You can see the difference when you are cooking since there is no great pan full of smoking fat. Therefore there is no excess fat on your plate once your dish has been served up. I can’t say that I really tasted this since there was so little on my omelette that the omelette was all I could taste. I think it is a great product and way cheaper by far than the extortionate prices they charge for coking oil.Ingredients: -

It is the Sunflower version that I am writing about here. Now, Fry Light Sunflower Oil Spray, containing vitamin E (to reduce oxidation during high temperature cooking) was Slimming Magazine’s Light and Low Awards winner in 1999. It was because of it being so incredibly low in calories and saturated fat (for a cooking oil) that I first ...

...also says that spraying with Fry Light also stops the food from sticking. I can promise you that this is the case! My food didn't stick, and was removed from the cooking pan with ease.
On the back of the can, you will find the usage instructions for how to cook chips and roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings and meats. Before using the spray, shake well and press the nozzle firmly a few times to activate the spray. Spray with a rapid sweeping motion ... ...per 10 inch pan. (Their words, not mine).
The spray nozzle is like any kind of nozzle you will find on any spray. It has a handy bright yellow lid to cover it. Spraying it onto the designated area is easy, and the spray fires from the can at a nice speed so it doesn't spray everywhere.
The actual cooking of the food (eggs), was easy. I found the spray worked really well, and, like it said, the eggs did not stick to the pan. I've actually found ...

Fry Light Sunflower is one of a range of fat alternatives that also includes Olive and Buttery. It comes in a pump spray 250ml bottle, and while that doesn't sound a lot, it actually replaces 7 litres of regular oil, making it well worth the £1.58 you'll pay for it in Asda.
It says in the instructions that you get the best results by spraying it onto the pan before you turn on the heat, and I would also recommend this. As you need a relatively little ... ...one spray, and that to fry an onion as a base for a pasta sauce, for example, you're better off starting with 7 to 10 sprays, adding more if you feel you need them later on in the cooking. Cooking on a lower temperature than usual also means you have to adjust the cooking time accordingly and once you've used this on a regular basis for a short while this becomes automatic.
I found that spraying low fat foods, chicken breasts and quorn products ...

When I was shopping in Tesco I did a bit of investigation and found that there are three varieties which are called Fry Light Sunflower Oil Spray, Fry Light Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray and Fry Light Better Than Butter Oil Spray. They were all priced at £1.97 for a 250ml carton. The first one we tried was the Olive Oil version and we really liked that one.

I first started to use frylight when I joined slimming world a year ago. I have now reached my target weight and intend to stay there! With only 1 calorie per spray, frylight has around 30 times fewer calories than other cooking oils. I really like the frylight olive oil and sunfloweroilspray so when I spotted a new frylight for use in stir fry?s, on the shelf in my local Tescos I was keen to try it.
Frylight stir spray for woks comes in a plastic bottle with pump action nozzle. I like the packaging with its white lid and Chinese style writing. I really like stir Frys, finding them easy and quick to make and they are healthy too! I was very keen to try my new spray and really expected to like it as I like the other sprays in the frylight range. The information on the front of the bottle told me that this spray also has oriental ...

much as we like of the right foods so that suits us just fine. We do like our food! LOL!
Looking through the diet information and recipe sheets I noticed that any products needing oil, such as roast potatoes, were to be cooked using a product called FryLight.
When shopping in Tesco I investigated and found that there are three varieties FryLightSunflowerOilSpray, FryLight Extra Virgin Olive OilSpray and FryLight Better Than Butter OilSpray. They were all priced at £1.97 for a 250ml carton. This sounded like good value to me as it will only ever be used a spray at a time so I bought the Olive Oil version. I chose this one because I usually use olive oil to cook so the taste would be similar to what we were used to.
The carton is made completely from plastic - so it can be fully recycled then!

Last year when Dave and I both chose to follow the Slimming World healthy eating programme we found that before we could change the way we ate we needed to change the way we shopped. We would need to eat much more fresh fruit and vegetables and cut out the fat and sugar as much as possible.
