EATING MORE FAT ALSO CAN HELP YOU LOOSE WEIGHT – LEARN FROM A DOCTOR HERE.

Overweight or obesity is one of the most turning factors behind our common illness and this is why people always remain in anxiety about their body fat. I myself also belong to that group that fears fat. It is commonly known to all that consuming too much fat makes us fat. But how far is this conception true?

 It is true that fat provides us with more calories than other foods that contain less amount of fat. For example, a gram of dietary fat gives us nine calories whereas a gram of other food that contain less fat such a carbs or protein gives us only four calorie. From this perception we usually think that by eating dietary fat there is a possibility of becoming fat as our body keeps the additional calorie in store that causes obesity afterwards.

Believe it or not, the above theory does not have any stand any more. All calories have equal impact on our health. In fact, it is not the fat that control sour obesity but it is the metabolism that controls our health condition to be fat or lean. The fact has been revealed from a recent study that it is healthy fat- not militant calorie counting or low-fat diets- can help you get lean. From the laboratory test it has been proved that calories derived from different foods have the same impact upon health though our body is not a laboratory but a complex microorganism that performs a thousand types of role to our health.

Food is a great regulatory mechanism for our health. It is not merely a source of energy but it regulates our hormones, immunity, brain chemistry and above all our microorganism. Food is the root cause of our health genes or disease genes.

It has been revealed from a study that it is not the low-calorie food or low-fat diet that reduces our fat but it is the healthy fat that helps us reducing our body fat or obesity. Because those who take high fat diet, they achieve a faster metabolism that keeps all the organs working well and thus helps in producing vital substances required for a sound life. On the contrary consumption of low-fat or high carbs diet other than the dietary fat rather amasses a high degree of insulin that afterwards disable the metabolism power of a human body and thus a human body losses its control over it and grows fat.

As per a research conducted by Dr. David Ludwig and his Harvard colleagues, those who eat high fat, low carbs food do well than those who eat low fat, high carbs food. The research was conducted as a crossover trial where two groups of people consumed two different types of food for a particular period. For example, they consumed high fat food, for a particular period. Again the same group of people consumed the opposite type of food, low fat food, for a particular period and thus the research was conducted over two groups of people and each time the people that consumed high fat diet proved to be healthy than the group that consumed low-fat and high carbs food.   

 The above study helped in determining the effect of metabolism that regulates our health. To be mentioned that both the groups of people were provided with the food that contained same amount of calories but their difference was only with the type of food i. e high carbs, low-fat food and low fat, high carbs food. The study gives a very comprehensive result to adopt a decision that each individual of the high fat group was able to burn 300 calories more than that of the low-fat group. Beside these, the high-fat group showed an improvement with their level of cholesterol, TG, LDL and PIA-1 including bigger resistance with insulin or pre-diabetes.

From the above discussion, it can be realized that the fat-cell of our body is regulated by the type of food that we eat and why we should eat such foods that are enriched in quality fat and fiber like eggs, avocados, nuts, seeds, coconut oil and olive oil, etcetera.
