For as long as I can remember, low fat foods have always been a major focus for people on diets, supermarkets and foods stores displays, TV programs and even famous chef's cookbooks.
It's easy to see the appeal too...let's all eat foods that don't contain fat and we'll naturally avoid piling fat onto our bodies, right? Sadly, contrary to popular belief this scientifically proven to be false. Let me explain why...
Your body has no connection between eating fat calories and the fat tissue you have inside your body. Therefore, it can and will take a calorie of any type and turn it into fat.
For example, many people choose pasta as a great dietary meal. Even more so when it's not covered in meatballs and sauce. Now, even if you were to eat plain pasta on its' own with no meat and sauce, you may think that you'll be avoiding putting fat into your body, right?
Not so, as the body will begin to turn some of the pasta into fatty tissue regardless. It is the body's way of insulating the body from any of the materials it has available.
Think of it like a caveman who is freezing to death. If he cannot find a sheep's skin to cover himself at night then he will take the leafs, grass and any other material he can to keep himself through the night, you see?
That's exactly how your body is acting with food - it will take all it can to insulate you, whether it's a greasy hamburger or a bowl of plain old rice.
This misconception that fat free/low fat foods are making us thinner is largely disproved when we look at the nation as a whole, who is becoming more obese year after year. If all it took were low fat foods such as low fat cakes and low fat biscuits, then we'd surely not have this global epidemic.
What happens is that most people hear the term fat free and see it as a green light to eat as much of it as they want and think it will not put on extra weight. And this is exactly what the food companies want you to believe.
The truth is that you can eat fat and carbs every day providing you get the balance right. In fact, the right combination of fat, carbs and calorie intake can actually promote natural weight loss even without exercise.
If that sounds like something that appeals to you, and you are not ready to starve yourself on salads, bland pasta and rice dishes and other so called "super foods", then you need to take a look at
