The Bad Wrap Of Fat
For some reason, everyone makes fat the enemy.In actuality, fats don’t really make you fat, excess carbohydrates make you fat!Do you understand what this means?It means that
eating “low fat” labeled foods will still pack weight on you just the same as the regular version of that food.This is hard to comprehend since we tend to base losing weight on decreasing our caloric intake.Reducing your caloric intake is only a small piece of the weight loss puzzle. This is why a natural detox and weight loss program is the best option. Natural detox weight loss diets are natural and don’t solely rely on caloric reduction.
Eating low fat is actually bad for you because fat helps to lower the absorption of sugar into the blood, decreasing your insulin response (which causes weight gain).Plus, diet foods are filled with artificial sweeteners such as nutrasweet,splenda, etc. that your body doesn’t know what to do with because they are a synthetic unnatural chemical.The body will take these toxins and store them in fat cells making it even harder to lose weight.Numerous health conditions, signs and symptoms can be caused by using artificial sweeteners including neurological and degenerative diseases.
Fat is used in our body for various health functions.The brain is primarily made of fat. There is a fat layer that surrounds your nerves called myelin and if you start to lose it, neurodegenerative diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis will occur.
Our cells rely on healthy fat for proper functioning. This allows the cell membrane to stay fluid so that cellular waste and nutrition can move in and out of each cell.
Last, our body requires fat to help produce our hormones and keep them balanced.
Why we need fats:
- supply insulation and protection for the organs
- Holds and moves fat-soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K) throught the body.
- aids in helping the body to absorb minerals. (Low fat diets cause osteoporosis because of poor mineral absorption.
- causes fat mobilization ( that’s right, you eat fat to lose fat!)
- controls your blood sugar by slowing the absorption rate of carbs
- Reduces hunger signals causing you to feel more full.
Always be sure that you eat a healthy source of fats and not unhealthy fats such as transfat, saturated fats, etc.
Good Fats:
- Omega 3 fats are found in cold water fish such as sardines, salmon, tuna, and krill.
- Other sources include naturally raised grass and vegetable fed animals, almonds, walnuts,avocados, pumpkin seeds, extra virgin olive oil, coconut and coconut oil.
Consuming healthy fats are a key component in any natural weight loss detox program or any diet program for that matter. Be sure that you add it to your diet today.
