Recently there has been much debate around the subject of fat. Some argue that fat makes you fat and you should avoid it at all cost. Some follow a high fat diet, and believe fat is the answer to a healthy slim body. Whiles others, including myself believe that some fat (good fats) are necessary for the human body to function at it’s best.
However I have always felt that you should cut back on the saturated fats. I mean you don’t have to have a PHD to realize that a diet full of cakes, crisp, deep-fried foods etc, is going to do more harm to your body than good.
To reinforce my believe, the Mail Online recently published the findings that prove, just cutting back on the fat can lead to a healthier, slimmer you.
Reduce Your Fat Intake For A Healthier Slimmer You
Forget about the diet – just cut down on the fat, claim scientists.
Trimming back on butter and cheese, cutting out biscuits, cakes and crisps and swapping to low-fat milk and yoghurt could help you lose three and a half pounds, says a new study.
It shows that people can get slimmer without going on a diet in as little as six months – and the more fat you stop eating, the more weight is lost.
New research from the University of East Anglia (UEA) found that exchanging fatty foods for lower fat alternatives results in weight loss, slimmer waistlines and a drop in levels of bad cholesterol.
The results prove for the first time that weight loss is possible simply by choosing foods lower in fat despite a plethora of recent publicity extolling the benefits of low-carbohydrate and no-carb diets.
The study, which pooled results from 33 clinical trials involving 74,000 people, is published in the British Medical Journal (must credit) Dr Lee Hooper from UEA’s Norwich Medical School, who led the study, said the regime led to consistent lower weight for at least seven years.
She said ‘The weight reduction that we found when people ate less fat was remarkably consistent – we saw it in almost every trial. Those who cut down more on fat, lost more weight. Full and original article here.
Okay, so if you’ve been confused about fat, how it effect’s your health and your weight? I hope this article has now given you some clarity.
So if you’ve been eating a diet that consists of a lot of bad saturated fats, start cutting them out, and you should see an improvement in your weight loss.
