Eat More Fat To Burn More Fat - Why This Important Macronutrient Is Essential For Weight Loss

By Eating More Fat Your Body Will Naturally Adapt to Burn Fat

Whilst fat has often been labeled as the enemy to achieving good health & losing weight, recent studies, by no less than Prof Tim Noakes, & others have come out in favor of good fats & against carbohydrates in general (especially simple carbs)

In fact this essential macronutrient has been given such a bad rap through the ages to the detriment of maintaining a healthy, fat-burning diet & having slimmer body.

Furthermore many of the low-fat diets & foods contain significant amounts of sugar which in itself causes progressive weight gain as well as other health issues.

Fat is one of 3 essential macronutrients, required for healthy body functioning, that has for ages been excluded from people's diet in the interest of weight loss when in actual fact research has shown that we actually need to consume this ingredient in order to lose weight as well as to eliminate the cravings for more food after meals.

Good Fats & Bad Fats
Notwithstanding what has been said above not all fats are equal and not all of them are good for you & promote weight loss.
The ones to avoid are saturated & trans fats, partially the hydrogenated type, as per the list below & those types that are used for fried foods are bad for you as they raise cholesterol levels which can cause heart disease.

However mono-unsaturated & poly-unsaturated fats are the good types which also help lower cholesterol levels & promote healthy body functioning.

Examples of Good Fats
  • Olive oil
  • Avocados
  • Olives
  • Nuts (almonds, peanuts, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, pecans, cashews)
  • Walnuts
  • Sesame, and pumpkin seeds
  • Fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring, trout, sardines)
  • Soymilk
  • Tofu
Examples of Bad Fats
  • Fatty meats
  • Full cream dairy products
  • Chicken skin
  • Butter & margarine
  • Cheese
  • Ice cream
  • Palm and coconut oil
  • Lard
  • Pastries, cookies & other treats
  • Fried foods (French fries, fried chicken, chicken nuggets, breaded fish)
  • Candy bars
Healthy Fat Eating Guide
As a brief guide as to which types to eat (to promote weight loss & good health), eliminate trans-fats from your diet (fried food for example) as well as the saturated type (full cream diary & animal fat) and include omega-3 fatty acids which is found in fish & walnuts.

If you're still not convinced just consider the fat-free food & diet hype that's been going on for the last few years & look at the increase in worldwide obesity - especially in the USA.
