Not All Fat Is Your Enemy

ByAlex D Tom

Weight loss has been always been a big factor in many people's lives for a long time. It has also become a big problem for them as well. There are so many diets and diet programs on the market that tell them that they need to cut all fat from their diets in order to shed the weight they have and reach their goals. Many of these same programs tell them different things and include certain strategies on how to trim down and lose excess weight that it has become confusing to most people who therefore become intensively frustrated and quit altogether. This does not have to happen.

Fat and calories need not be the enemy in your daily food intake to assist you in your weight loss goals. The act of cutting fat form your diet will do more harm than good in the long run. There are many different kinds of fat that are in many of the foods that we all eat and if you cut all the fat from your diet it is a sure way to basically starve yourself and thus fail in your efforts.

The fats that I refer to are Polyunsaturated, Monounsaturated, Saturated, Unsaturated and Trans fat which you will find in most foods including the healthy foods that are supposed to be so good for us. The only fats we need to keep an eye on are the Saturated and Trans fat. They build up in the body and are quite difficult to burn up and use for energy. The other three are essential for the fat-burning process as they are the ones that we all use for energy production to aid in our bodies metabolism.

Many people have been under the major misconception that if they cut fat completely from their diets, the weight will just miraculously come off and they will get the bodies that they always wanted. They are completely missing the point and are robbing themselves of reaching their weight loss goals and are only going to starve themselves into a major plateau which will bring their diet to a standstill.

The problem is that when people see the word fat, they panic and drive themselves into a frenzy. You must not become paranoid in your food intake and consumption if you are serious about reaching your weight loss goal. Pay attention to the foods that aid in the fat-burning process and understand the difference in the ones that help you and the ones that hinder your efforts. It is really that simple.

Now, do not get me wrong. I am not saying that you can go out and gorge on your favorite foods that have fat in them. I am merely stating that you need not starve yourselves in the process of your weight loss program. You will discover for yourselves which foods cause you to lose excess weight at an accelerated rate and those that only aid in preventing your body the fat-burning process. Learn what the right foods are and include those in your diet. Recognize the differences and you will be able to enjoy some of your favorite foods and still gain wonderful progress in your weight loss program.
