Fitness, Diet and Health
Dietary fat also makes us feel full and satisfied; so if our diet consists of mainly food nutrition we may end up eating a lot more calories overall before beginning to feel full. The other issue with low fat foods is that most manufacturers add sugars to their products to replace the taste and texture removed with the food nutrition. Recently there has been a huge swing towards fat phobia because low-fat food nutrition manufacturers have spent millions of dollars trying to convince consumers that fat is bad.
Adding all this extra sugar increases the calorie count of this food nutrition back to the original amount, if not higher, and then we have the problem of increased blood sugar levels and increased levels of insulin due the food now having a high GI rating. The best option for down fat levels its drink water and eat fish, raw nuts, seeds, olives and avocados. Whilst its true that fat has 12 calories per gram, as opposed to carbohydrates and protein that have only 8 calories per gram, fat is an essential part of our diet because it ensures proper functioning of our mind and body. Cold pressed extra virgin olive oil is great for salads but loses its integrity during cooking, so if you do need to cook with oil try using cold pressed grape seed oil. Water and food nutrition actually aids our bodies in: digestion, metabolism, temperature regulation, respiration, nutrient transportation, waste elimination and fat burning.
