About Fats

Some people on diets attempt to exclude all fats, however fats themselves are not unhealthy but the way that they are processed can have negative effects on our health. For example, good fats are sensitive to destruction by heat, light and air. Omega–3 and Omega 6 fatty acids spoil quickly and do not have a long shelf life. Omega-3 fatty acids is destroyed by light, air, and heat 5 times more rapidly than is the omega-6.

Food processing damages natural fats and make them toxic. This includes hydrogenation, which produces man made trans-fats

  • Margarine
  • shortening
  • Partially-hydrogenated vegetable oils
Frying also damages oils by exposing them to high levels of heat.

People on low fat diets are usually deficient in omega 3 fatty acids. More conditions deficiency conditions respond to omega- 3 supplementation that omega 6 fatty acids.

Healthy Fats (Omega- 3s)

  • increase insulin sensitivity
  • decreases clotting by making platelets less sticky
Fats to eat in moderation

Saturated fats

  • increase insulin resistance
  • make platelets more sticky
Fats to avoid

Tran's fats
According to the Harvard School of Public Health, trans- fatty acids double risk of heart attack, kill at least 30,000 Americans every year, and increase risk of diabetes. They also interfere with essential fatty acid function, and make essential fatty acid deficiency worse by blocking the receptors for the good fats that help repair our cell membranes

Healthy ways to manage your weight

  1. Lower your refined carb intake. Only eat carbs that you are willing to burn. If not they will just accumulate as fat.
  2. Swap your simple refined carbs for quality carbs from vegetables, they provide you with then needed macro and micronutrients that you need.
  3. Exercise will help you to burn any extra calories from carbs that you eat. It takes more time to burn them once the body has already stored them as fat. Besides muscle burn 70 times more calories than fat.
