It
might be hard for many of you to believe that, contrary to popular
belief eating fat does not make you fat. |
|||
| We
should not count essential fatty acids (EFA's) as fat calories,
because they increase calorie burning. And, instead of being
used as fuel, they play a role in cell membranes, and are converted
into hormone-like prostaglandins. And yes, these fats do keep
us slim. Udo Erasmus, author of "Fats that Heal Fats that
Kill" explains that there really is a double story with
fats. Fats that help heal your body also help you stay slim,
and the "bad" fats, the fats that kill, make and keep
you fat.
Fat
that Increases Energy One study involving athletes found that with the addition of essential fatty acids to the diet, athletes gained increased strength and endurance, could lift heavier weights, do more reps and recovered from fatigue faster. Those who consume fresh EFA's find their energy levels pick up, they feel like being physically active and they stay alert later into the evening.
Water retention is a problem in overweight people. EFA's help the kidneys eliminate excess water from tissues. When we eat a diet rich in essential nutrients, including EFA's, food cravings are also reduced. Essential fatty acids are also required for hemoglobin production. A deficiency of EFA's causes a form of anemia with all of the associated symptoms, especially fatigue and lost energy. Who could even think of exercise when they are exhausted? We all know that you can't just eat EFA's to lose weight; physical exercise is also a requirement. With the addition of EFA's to the diet and the resulting increased energy levels, physical exercise won't seem like so much work. Choose the right fats and make those fats work for you. ABOUT DR.
