Fat Facts
So, what does it mean to be fat?
Fatty acids are the building blocks of fat, and based on their chemical structure, they are classed as saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated.
Fat is necessary for human survival; we all require fat in our diets.
Nutritionists and doctors have preached for years that eating a low-fat diet is the key to decreasing weight and avoiding health issues.
Fat, on the other hand, is not all the same.
Small amounts of 'healthy fat' are required by our bodies to function and to avoid disease.
However, most'modern' foods contain far more fat than the body requires.
Too much fat, especially the improper kind of fat, can be harmful to human health, creating major health concerns such as higher blood pressure and cholesterol levels, obesity, and an increased risk of heart disease.
As a result, it is critical to understand which forms of fat should be avoided.
Good Fats VS Bad Fats
Good Fats VS Bad Fats
We are continually reminded that "fats are bad," and many people will invest a lot of effort and money to entirely eliminate fat from their diet.
The truth is that we require fats.
Fats aid in nerve transmission, nutrient absorption, and cell maintenance. Membrane stability, for example.
Simply said, fat is required for you to lose weight.
Yet, if consumed in excess, it can put you at risk for a variety of health problems.
The objective is to replace bad fats in our diet with beneficial fats.

Unsaturated fat is another name for good fat.
The majority of potentially beneficial dietary fats are unsaturated.
Unsaturated fat is classified into two types: monounsaturated fat but also polyunsaturated fat.

Unsaturated fat is classified into two types: monounsaturated fat but also polyunsaturated fat.
Monounsaturated fats
Monounsaturated fats
This is a type of fat found in a variety of food and oils. You can get it from:
• Nuts including almonds, peanuts, cashew, macadamia, walnuts and
pistachios
• Avocado
• Canola
• Olive oil
pistachios
• Avocado
• Canola
• Olive oil
The potential for heart health is the most well-documented benefit of ingesting monounsaturated fats.
It lowers the risk of heart disease by improving blood cholesterol levels.
According to research, these fatty acids may boost insulin levels and blood sugar control, which is especially beneficial if you have type 2 diabetes.
Not only that, but research have shown that moving from trans fat and polyunsaturated fat diets to monounsaturated fat diets resulted in serious weight loss.
Yes, both consume the SAME amount of fat in their diets, but the outcomes are DIFFERENT!
The sort of fats you consume on a daily basis are crucial.
Polyunsaturated fats
Polyunsaturated fats are classified into two types: omega-3 and omega-6. Polyunsaturated fats
These are also referred to as essential fatty acids.
Because our bodies cannot create vital fatty acids on their own, we must obtain them from diet.
(i) Omega- 3
Omega-3 is a type of polyunsaturated fat. You can get it from:
- Legumes
- Soy food
- Tuna, salmon and mackerel
- Green leafy vegetables
- Walnuts, other nuts and flaxseed
Breastmilk can also provide omega-3 to babies. It enhances brain health during pregnancy and the first few years of life.
Omega-3 fatty acids aid in the development of a baby's brain and eyes both in the womb and during the first six months of life.
It has a significant impact on children's lives.
Adults can benefit from omega-3 fatty acids for rheumatoid arthritis, pain reduction, morning stiffness, and inflammation.
It can also help adults avoid heart disease.

(ii) Omega-6
Omega-6 is a type of polyunsaturated fat. You can get it from:
• Vegetable oils like sunflower
• Evening primrose oil
• Peanut
• Canola
• Cereals. Omega 6 is vital for brain and muscle development since it plays an important function in cell proliferation.For this reason, most infant formulae contain omega-6 arachidonic acid (AA).
Infants need to develop their brains as well as their muscles.The growth effects of omega 6 also explain why body builders and top sportsmen are so interested in omega 6 ingestion. Omega-6 fatty acids, particularly gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), have been associated to enhanced bone density and decreased bone loss, as well as promoting hair development and skin health.Omega-6 has an anti-inflammatory effect on our skin, which helps to soothe sensitive skin. Bad fats There really are two main types of potentially hazardous dietary fat: saturated fat and trans fat.
Saturated fat and trans fat are two types of fat.
(i) Saturated fat
You get saturated fat from:
• Animal products such as meat fat
• Full-fat dairy products such as butter and cream
• Palm and coconut oil in processed food such as biscuits, chips & slices. There are no recognised health benefits to saturated fat.
A high consumption of harmful saturated and trans fats can result in raised levels of low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, cholesterol, which may increase your risk of developing heart disease.
Obesity, diabetes, and cancer may all be exacerbated by these lipids.
(ii) Trans fat
Trans fat is sometimes used in:
- Commercially-madecakesandbiscuits
- Takeawayfood
- Energybars
- Ready-mademeals
- Snack food like chips
Trans fats can raise dangerous low-density lipoprotein cholesterol while lowering beneficial high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
As a result, your chances of developing cardiovascular disease increase.
It has also been linked to the development of type 2 diabetes. Strategizing Your Diet
Now that you've understood the fundamentals of fats, it's time to learn how to create your own diet to remove those unwanted pounds.
The golden rule of a successful diet plan is to create a weight loss diet that appeals to your personal interests.
Don't choose an extreme diet plan because you're desperate for a drastic change in your weight - it's unreasonable, and you'll never reach your objective. Small modifications in a healthy direction over time, ideally, can accomplish wonders for your body.
Winning Rule: Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to long-term fat loss!
Follow these simple and miraculous steps to create your own fat-loss diet! Identify your current diet
For 7 days, keep a meticulous diary note of your typical food intake.
Eat normally, but keep track of everything you eat each day, including how much you eat at each meal or snack.
How many cups of cereal, for example?
Is it one or two?
How much milk is there?
TIP: There are a plethora of fantastic calorie-tracking apps available nowadays!
Simply download one and begin tracking - the easier it is to use, the more likely you are to track your food intake!
Make careful to calculate the number of calories consumed at each meal, then add the total number of calories consumed over the course of seven days and divide by seven.
This will give you a decent estimate of how many calories you're consuming at your current body weight.
Design a new diet
Dream big, but begin small.
Be realistic and take tiny steps to achieve great achievement!
A safe weight decrease is one pound each week, which is most likely to be permanent.
GOAL = Lose 1 pound per week
Do the math.
A pound has 3500 calories.
3500 calories divided by seven days a week = 500 calories every day.
Subtract 500 calories from your daily average calorie count.
My personal favourite formula for calculating my average daily consumption is to multiply my body weight by 14
(Of course, there are other formulas available...more complex ones.)
But remember to keep it basic!
That is the key to quick weight loss.
Assume I'm a 180-pound male.
As a result, 180X14=2520kcal
The result is 2520-500=2020kcal.
*
So, to lose 1 pound each week, I need to consume roughly 2000kcal per day.
If my weight loss progress slows or stops, I'll reduce my daily calorie consumption to 1700-1800kcal.
Simple.
Bare in mind, however, that you must not reduce your calorie intake to less than 1500 without consulting a professional certified dietitian.
Play of substitution
Don't stop eating, and don't fall into starvation mode!
Consider zombies... what do they do?
They gorge themselves!
So, if you starve yourself over an extended period of time, you will BINGE!
Learn to substitute healthier foods that you enjoy and reduce quantities of high-calorie foods that you enjoy in order to meet your new daily calorie count.
Let's assume you love burgers and can't live without them; it's okay, eat them.
Instead of consuming the entire item, reduce the calorie count by reducing the portion size or substituting a specific ingredient.
Eat half of it instead of the whole thing; choose lean chicken meat over a fattening beef patty; and a sprinkling of chilli flakes instead of dripping chilli sauce.
Changing the way you prepare your favourite foods is the simplest and most effective approach to save a lot of calories.
Frying and heavy or thick sauces should be avoided.
Choose to steam, bake, broil, or roast it, or even better, eat it raw.
The Elusive "Secret" To Feeling Fuller, Longer
Eat More Low Density Food
The number of calories per gramme of food is referred to as calorie density.
It is the most straightforward strategy to healthy eating and long-term weight management.
Foods with a high calorie density have a high number of calories per gramme; foods with a low calorie density have a low number of calories per gramme.
The secret to feeling full without overeating is calorie density.
Whenever you eat a lot of calorie dense food, you'll wind up ingesting a lot of calories to fill your stomach.
Low calorie density food, on the other hand, allows you to fill up on fewer calories since it contains a lot more water, which adds weight and volume to the food but no calories.
In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers discovered that several high-calorie foods, such as bakery delights, not only do not full you up, but actually stimulate your appetite, causing you to crave more!
In the research experiment, participants who were provided such meals ended up eating twice as much the rest of the day (3000 calories total) as those who were offered a low-fat and low-calorie dinner!
Here's the deal: locate healthier fast food.
Look for low-fat, low-calorie, and filling alternatives.
Brown rice, grilled skinless lean meat, whole-wheat bread, salads (they're really filling! ), soup, and best of all, plain water - works with any meal and will leave you feeling satisfied!
So that's all!
