Welcoming 2022 with a long list of resolutions? I bet this one tops your list: To Lose Weight. To Stay Healthy. To Lose Inches. To Heal!
The ultimate goal is to shed that bothersome stubborn fat because of which you have to position yourself carefully while posing for a picture, just so you look halfway decent.
Have you tried the Keto Diet, the Intermittent Fasting, the Low Carb or followed the Vegan way. Did you do your 45-minutes walk or worked out at the gym with the most enthusiastic personal trainer or followed the ultimate sacrifice of cutting out sweets and even punished your sweet tooth?
Still struggling with the lumpy bumpy irregular fat deposits all over? Have you tried a rub, massage and a wrap with seaweed every day? Honestly...might work!
The BIG FAT MISCONCEPTION:
If you want to maintain healthy weight and prevent heart disease...cut back on fat! That is the big fat lie we have been brainwashed with for years. For the record, fat is not the substance that is making us overweight. The real culprit is refined carbohydrates. Research proves years of low fat or no fat diet are detrimental to health. Vitamin A, D, E and K are fat soluble vitamins and fat transports them in our body. In fact, fat free or low fat foods are the reason many people overeat carbohydrates.
Just as petrol or diesel needs to burn to produce energy to make the engine of your car run, fat needs to burn in your body to produce energy required for you to function. Unfortunately most of us burn sugars to produce energy rather than fat; kind of like using your car's battery to run rather than the fuel. Hence the steep slump in energy levels less than half way into a working day...the sugar craving that follows, eventually leading to lifestyle diseases like diabetes.
