Fat - Why You Shouldn't Eliminate It from Your Diet
With the media hype around fat, many people seem to focus on fat burning techniques, while others seem calories to be the ultimate factor in weight loss. The truth is, one goes with the other: you cannot burn fat if you're not cutting calories. For people who are trying to completely eliminate fat from their diet, they're probably taking a first class ticket to failure. What many people seem to ignore is that carbohydrates play an important role in this weight gain. Even if we cut our fat intake, we still gain weight because of bread, pasta, and rice. Can you go for a week without eating those? Before considering the fat, one should consider how to cure his carbohydrates addiction, since at the end of the day; you're most likely to binge on a piece of bread than on meat. If we're going to discuss fat, we'll have to dissect the two different fats so we can understand better what's good and bad for us. Starting off with what's good for you, there's the fat in cheese and meat, in which the concentration is quite low. On the other hand, anything fried has a higher concentration of fat in it, consequently, endangering your health. If you must eat those foods every now and then, make sure you watch your portions. You might be thinking, what about oils? Oils such as olive, sesame, and soy are good for your health. They are low in saturated fat and therefore are safe for you to use. However, as mentioned above, don't go crazy with the oil. What you should definitely avoid is oil alternatives - they are bad for your health. If you must use a substitute for oil, let's say you're out of oil, use butter instead of margarine. For those with fatty diets, the chances are you have diabetes, heart conditions, and even bone problems. Not to mention, if an obese person was to host cancerous cell, it will be harder to notice it in the early stages. Another factor that would result from fatty diets is the quality of your skin: it will become oilier, prone to acne, and marked by purple stretch marks. The gist of this isn't to make you cut the fat or the carbohydrates; it is just a general guideline for you to balance the two. Eliminating one won't help the weight loss, but instead it will impede its progress. So make sure you skip the fries and also go easy on the bread.
