Eating fat-free foods is potentially dangerous and unhealthy!
Whaaaat?
That can’t be right, surely?
I mean, we want to lose weight, get fit, we need to eat less fat right?
The Government and slimming clubs have been telling us this for years! Take mayonnaise as an example – one slimming club recommends a lower than low-fat mayo to add to some food! But the core ingredients of mayonnaise is egg and oil! So to have a low-fat mayonnaise, what other ingredients are added to make it so?
A well-known brand of Lighter than Light Mayonnaise in fact contains these ingredients:
Water, spirit vinegar, modified corn starch, sugar, pasteurised free range EGG & EGG yolk (4%), rapeseed oil, salt, cream powder (contains MILK), citrus fibre, colours (titanium dioxide, carotenes), thickener (xanthan gum), flavourings (contain MILK), preservative (potassium sorbate), lemon juice concentrate, antioxidant (calcium disodium EDTA).
Now how can that be healthier than a homemade mayonnaise of egg yolk, oil and mustard?
There are some bad fats which are contained in fast food and processed foods, in particular trans fats, but our bodies actually need good fats!
Understanding the danger of eating too many fat-free foods is important if you want to lose weight and lead a healthy lifestyle.
Unfortunately, most of the world is now ‘out of touch’ with proper nutritional practices. Research now shows that fat is actually 1 of the 3 essential macro-nutrients our bodies need in order to function properly.
Eating the good fats helps to break down food properly, they keep your cell walls strong and deliver proper hormone functioning, especially for women. So using the mayonnaise as an example, regular shop bought mayonnaise is actually 85% – 95% fat, so the low-fat options actually reduces the fat content and instead replaces it with gum, sugar and starch.
This is just one example of many to show the reasons why we are even more addicted to sugar. We are fed false information about fat, which is a key ingredient to fill us, and instead replaces the fat with sugar which makes us not only fatter and addicted, but means we are not nourished enough so we end up eating more (and often the wrong foods as the sugar has kicked in making us crave even more).
So low-fat foods load our body with artificial ingredients, sugar, keeps us feeling hungry, and doesn’t give us the essential fatty acids and other good fats that are beneficial to our health, hair, nails and skin, and in general makes us so much worse in health!
Take one thing away today – cut out the low-fat foods!
