tHERE WAS A BLOG url a few minutes ago I did not have time to read it all.
I was about to comment on his blog that the amount of suggested fat is not healthy.
The suggestion regarding the healthy fat amount in foods was not healthy for most of the people living Earth.
He may be a very big/tall person who exercise whole day to burn high calories, such as long distance swimmers; but there was not any explanation about his body or daily calorie burning by exercise. Anyway, the fat amount he suggests is not healthy and causes many diseases including Diabetes, Alzheimer or Cardiovascular disease.
I agree with him that we should mix different groups, but I do not agree with him that every time we eat, we need to eat fat.
Skipping fat and eating only vegetables, fruits and protein on many meals a day is also a good way to lose body fat.
My healthy suggestion on fat consumption in diet is that:
A healthy balance for people trying to lose body fat should not be more than
3-15% calories from fat.
Each individual calories should be arranged individually.
I am a small, healthy weighted person with very low daily calorie need, and I even eat only 0.5 % fat many days to burn body fat. His high fat amount suggestion is not logical or healthy specially for old, small-bodied, academic-computer workers.
However, it should be always remembered that even if we eat zero fat(0% fat), our body would still convert excess carbohydrates or other foods to fat, and our body would still be fatty. Thus, exercising is a healthy way to burn body fat besides diet arrangements.
The most important metabolic fact is that if we would eat zero protein, our body could not manage to synthesize many valuable proteins from fat or carbohydrates, and would damage many valuable organ functions.
Also vegetables and fruits have many valuable co-factors, vitamins; our body can not synthesize them from fat.
People that find themselves overweight did not have it happen to them overnight. If you gain 2 lbs/year then you will be 10 lbs heavier after 5 years, 30 lbs heavier after 15 years. This is how it happens. You turn 40 and you’re 35 lbs heavier than you were 15 or 20 years ago.
It didn’t happen overnight, and it is not going to disappear overnight. Consume water in foods such as cucumber, drink water containing drinks. Have protein every time you eat. Do not eat high amount of fat, if correct fat giving foods are eaten, even 0.1 % of calories from fat can provide any needed fat for body. Mixture of high amount of vegetable, some fruits and protein rich meals are good if you are on a body-fat loosing diet. Don’t get too hungry. Find the right balance that gets 3 pounds or 4 of body fat per month off your frame. Understand that when you exercise, you will add muscle and lose bodyfat and this is best measured with some body health measurements. After appropriate exercises, you can lose two inches off your waist fat and not lose a pound on the scale even though this will account for waist body-fat conversion into muscle.
Body-fat loss is a process that takes time, losing too much weight over only some few months is not healthy; maintaining ideal weight is most important part of healhty weight. Something different is going to work for everybody and with the proper amount of focus you will find what works for you. Calorie adjustment, low fat, high protein, vegetable, fruit diet and exercise is essential for any body-fat loosing program.
