Fat Loss 101- Low Fat diets

What brought about the emergence of low fat diets you ask?

The answer would be the high number of people overweight, heart diseases, and the increase of cancer cases which are as well brought about by products we all love to eat french fries, pizza, ice cream, and many other fast foods and drinks.

Our body actually needs an average amount of fat which is necessary for the proper functioning of the immune system and the hormone system. It is the excess and shortage of fat in the body which effects our health. Once the body system experiences unusual functioning, waste products and excess fats are stored within the body system and that needs to be cleansed out. To avoid this, you have the low fat diets.

Low fat diet is a eating program where the amount of dietary fat is limited up to 30 percent of calories. A calorie measure is  the energy in food and drinks you consume. Low fat diet simply aims to let the person eat as little fat as possible and which also includes oil in the form of saturated and cholesterol. Saturated fats are mostly found in dairy products and processed foods. Cholesterol is mostly found in meat products, egg yolks and cheese.

The program is not encouraging everyone to believe that fats are not essential to the body. All you need to do is be conscious on what you eat everyday. You may eat any meat but complement it with vegetables. Include exercise into your day to burn unwanted fats and regulate the good ones to produce energy. Do not forget to drink adequate amount of water to avoid dehydration. If you can't drink water try drinking fruit juices and other plant extracts. You can try coconut juice which is a good cleansing aid for unwanted acids in the body.

The focus of this program is not actually the the type of fats, amount of fats and the fat content of any foods or drinks that you take, it is primarily on your overall health and it can help you avoid severe diseases. What you are after is how to get physically and mentally fit by eating the right foods and finding the right diet for yourself.
