Eating Fats to Lose Weight

This may sound a little crazy or maybe not if you find out how good the healthy fats are for your body. Eating fat is necessary for your weight loss and health for your brain too. Surely the important point is that we talk about just healthy fat, not all fats. If you read only the title of this post and ran to fill mayonnaise in your sandwich, at least spend a little time to read the article thoroughly before eating the fats again.

Monounsaturated fats are fats that will help you keep your blood sugar levels steady in your blood, lower your bad cholesterol (LDL) and to lend a little hand in weight loss. The fat will help weight loss for the reason that they give you a greater sense of fullness. A study showed that monounsaturated fat intake leads to increased resting metabolic rate (calories used only to live) and a calorie burning greater diet-induced. Monounsaturated fats also burn faster than the saturated fats in the body.

Here is a list of them which will help you choose the right foods when you eat your next meal:-

Olive Oil- One tablespoon of this liquid has 10 grams of monounsaturated fats and saturated fat just 2 grams. You can buy the one which reads as €Extra Virgin' on the pack; it is a little more expensive and also has high levels of antioxidants. A daily portion in your salad will taste better making you healthy.

Peanut Butter- Peanut Butter has 4 grams of monounsaturated fat per tablespoon. It also has a load of fiber, vitamins and even minerals. The studies have shown that people who eat peanut butter are less likely to develop type 2 diabetes. Just be aware of looking for natural versions for the reason that many are full of sugar processed until hydrogenated fats.

Avocado- An ounce of this super fruit has 3 grams of fat and 75 percent of the fat is monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. It also has more than 20 vitamins, folic acid, fiber and carotenoids and it really tastes so good.

Black Chocolate- The chocolate addicts can have a healthy heart and flat tummy with this super sweet. One ounce has 13 grams of monounsaturated fat which makes it a good snack. You have to look that says more than 70 percent of cocoa because the higher the cocoa content is, the lesser the sugar is. It is also an antioxidant and the truth is that everyone likes chocolate.

Okay, now the serious part is here. Can you eat these fats all day? Well, not really. Though it is healthier, it is also fat and calories and indeed more calories than other macronutrients (carbohydrate and protein are 4 calories per gram while fat has 9). Your fat intake should be between 20 to 30 percent of your daily caloric intake which means about three servings a day.
