Does eating fat help you lose weight?
Low-fat diet is a trend in Hong Kong, so people trying to lose weight avoid butter, cheese, cream, etc., which contain a lot of fat and high calories. However, recent studies have found that people who eat a lot of saturated fats generally reduce refined carbohydrates. Not only do they lose weight, but their blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol also drop!
The study was published by the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" and researchers pointed out that refined carbohydrates are the culprit of obesity! Because after the body absorbs refined carbohydrates, it will be converted into sugar in the body, causing a sharp increase in insulin in the body, causing fat to accumulate in cells, thus making the body more obese.
However, if you eat high-quality natural fats, such as butter, cheese, cream, etc., although they are high in calories, they are relatively well absorbed by the body, and these fats can also help prevent or resist cardiovascular diseases.
But please note that the report emphasizes that they only conducted research on high-quality natural saturated fats, and some processed fats, such as margarine, soybean oil, corn oil, canola oil, etc., were excluded from the scope of the study. Therefore, people who want to lose weight must know how to choose no matter what they eat!
