Avoid mayonnaise and avoid weight gain

Mayonnaise is usually prepared from oil, eggs and vinegar, thus giving it a high fat content. The more kilojoules you take in, the higher your calorie gain will be and in the long term you can gain weight.

So what can you do to reduce your intake of these fats?

You could perhaps try substituting mayonnaise for some plain Greek yoghurt. Dietician, Amanda van Huysteen who is based at Life Wilgeheuwel Hospital in Johannesburg says that Greek yoghurt is packed with healthy flora and that this promotes a healthy stomach. In addition, Greek yoghurt is also an excellent source of protein as well as calcium.

So consider giving Greek yoghurt a try the next time your reach for the mayonnaise jar.
