Olive oil should be fine in moderation. Try baking or bbq'ing if you want to avoid fried foods.

i see. yeah thats wat i thought. and yeah one should avoid fried food completly for fat loss right??

Well, certain oils are fine in moderation (vegetable oils) but deep fat fried stuff is a hugely bad thing to eat period.

Of course there is allways water.

I eat fried food about once per month, not KFC or anything like that, but homemade fried stuff that's not all that bad for you. But if you want to eat the "optimal" diet - avoid fried foods.

you can use Pam type spray for eggs....you can use a deep fryer since they say it absorbs less oil that way ...........

in salads, i just skip or use a teeny bit of oil, it doesn't matter in the recipe, and once you get used to it, the oil seems.....so.......oily!
