Diet Hoax – Low Fat Everything
| Low fat dairy is great but just about every other low/non-fat food item replaces the fat with more sugar or the substantially worse trans fat. Just three grams of trans fat a day raises your risk for cardiovascular problems by a third. When people switch butter for margarine or chow down on non-fat food, Big Mistake. |  |
The simple carbs found in these foods are less filling so you will feel hungrier and eat more total calories. It’s like going to the gas station, filling up your gas tank, and then spraying another forty dollars worth of fuel all over your interior. Just as that unneeded gasoline would soak into your interior the unneeded carbs soak into your system and turn into fat. Instead of the Big Non-Fat label they should have stickers proclaiming ‘Carbs Readily Turned into Fat!’
Salvation: Eating Complex Carbohydrates and More Protein. Complex carbs, such as the ones found in brown rice and other whole grains, are much more physique friendly than their sugary sibling. Complex carbs contain fiber which makes you feel full and helps slow digestion. So instead of the gas pump spraying all over your interior it’s as if there is a full service attendant that fills your tank as your burn your fuel. So you’re eating less and without the fat gain from spiking your blood sugar. Proteins also give you that sense of satiety as well as help maintain and build muscle mass which keeps your metabolism revved throughout the day.
