Stop Fat Shaming...

cwolfman13

As in stop eliminating all the fat from your diet. You need fat in your diet to be healthy...fat is essential, and fat does not make you fat.

Fat is necessary for nutrition absorption, including certain fat soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K which cannot be absorbed by your body in the absence of dietary fat. Fat also helps to regulate hormones as well as body temperature and plays a vital role in proper organ function, including your brain. Fats are also necessary for good heart health where a number of studies show that individuals who follow low fat/no fat diets are actually at higher risk for heart disease.

So stop fat shaming and eat your fat....

I do love fat! Guacamole! Ice cream! Cheese! Just not at the same time.

If you are burning body fat you are essentially consuming saturated fat. Your body doesn't care if it is coming from your diet or being pulled from your fat stores, it uses it the same.

That is the universally recognized fat across all health viewpoints as being very bad for you.

Those are more carbs and sugar then fat. At least poptarts are. Most icecream isn't much better but sure is a nice indulgence.

It's true! There are good fats and bad fats. It's all th processed chemical crap and gmo stuff that's making us fat, not fats.

Good thing I ate that huge piece of chocolate mousse cake last night.

Stepping away from the Snackwells...

I cannot imagine eating a fat-free diet. I would rather be overweight. Pass the cheese! And the olive oil! And the avocado! And the BUTTER!

and Carb Killing. Protein everyone thinks he's some kind of golden child while his brother and sister fat and carb get told they are worthless.

It's true! There are good fats and bad fats. It's all th processed chemical crap and gmo stuff that's making us fat, not fats.

No - it's the excess calories that are making us fat.

"Processed chemical crap" may make those calories easier to obtain, but it not the processing or the chemicals that are to blame.

But how does making a plant herbicide-resistant change the calorie content of it? [By all means avoid GMO produce for other reasons, just not getting the connection to weight loss.]

someone said.everything in moderation. unfortunately females need more fat than males in order to be healthy. Recently there has been a slight switch in emphasis in health info. the work which sighted fat as being the problem has been challenged. someone has proved carbohydrates in a three form combination actually forms fat. This does not mean anything goes but as I started everything in moderation!!!!

Shame is felt only by the person perceiving.

It's all th processed chemical crap and gmo stuff that's making us fat, not fats.

I thought it was eating ridiculously oversized portions that was making us fat...
Man, if I had known that all I had to do was go organic (but still pig out), I woulda been all over that years ago.

Yes, eat your fats! :drinker: (well, except trans fats)

It is BOTH the garbage they put in our food AND oversized portions that make us overweight. Eating organic is a valuable fat loss technique but it isnt everything.
