Low-fat foods: Harm and benefits

Some people believe that we need only to go to the low-fat whole foods like diet will be much healthier and healthier. But is it really?

Well, some truth in this. Indeed, many fat products   help lower cholesterol and body weight. Also, they typically enriched with vitamins and minerals.

But in this case the human physiology proves that of all the calories that we eat with the food of the day for about 30 percent should be extracted from the fat. Yes, I can not give up the fat. After all, they perform an important function in the body: increases elasticity of blood vessels, are involved in the synthesis of hormones, help assimilate vitamins A, E, D and K. Without fat metabolism can be broken, and then low-fat food , Paradoxically, become the cause of excess weight.

How can I gain weight on a low-fat diet? Alas, it is very easy! If the label states a low fat content, it does not mean that the caloric content of the product is less than expected. The fact is that in many foods, such as low-fat fruit yogurt, fat offset the lack of carbohydrates. Their over is known, is converted in the body fat. It must be borne in mind that it is not always stated on the packaging of the "zero" fat makes the product useful. The fact that often the products with reduced fat content, or "low-fat" contain hydrogenated fat. This vegetable fat, which, after treatment with hydrogen from liquid become hard. For example, "light" margarines, spreads, which contain hydrogenated fats can raise blood cholesterol levels more than butter fat content of which a half times higher.

There is one important point. The fat entering the body with food, in time to give us a signal saturation, and low-fat products with the signal "delayed." This time is enough, we had to eat more than the body requires.

For these reasons, it is not necessary to abandon the whole in favor of low-fat products. If you watch your weight or just want to lose some weight, choose foods low in fat. For example, to replace 3 diet yogurt, fat content of 2 percent by 2, 5 percent, 20 percent cream - 10 percent.

And products with "zero" fat good for the fasting days and in order to cope with Nakata hunger pangs, which usually happens in the evening. But to stick to a diet full of lean - more harmful than helpful.
