How Fat Free Food Makes You Gain Weight
By James Wong
Have
you ever thought about it? All those companies that make low fat or fat free
foods claim that their products help people lose weight. Here’s the thing
though: Americans eat the most low fat and fat free foods, but somehow we have
the highest rate of obesity in the world! That just doesn’t make sense!
Well, actually, it does make sense. Think about things in perspective in terms
of time. People of all generations before us were not struggling as much as we
are today with weight. What was it that was different? Well, they certainly
didn’t have low fat or fat free foods, so if they didn’t have those foods to
“help” them, what was it?
There’s the key! They didn’t have low fat or
fat free foods! That’s why they were not struggling with their weight!!
Low fat and fat free foods do NOT help you to lose weight! Plain and simple,
that is the full truth and I know you can handle it! Okay, so here’s how low fat
and fat free foods make you fat...
First off, foods with fat tend to
taste better than their low fat or fat free buddies. I know, it’s not something
that you’re likely to admit since, I’m sure, you’re trying to keep those types
of foods out of your mind while you work hard to lose weight. But realize that
usually it is the fat in foods that make things taste so great. So when
companies reduce or take out the fat, the taste goes with it.
Just think
about the difference between a yummy cracker topped with cheese and a low fat
cracker all dry and bland. Which one would YOU choose? The tasty one of course!
So basically, you’re subjecting yourself to bland, tasteless, dry food that, get
this, costs more! That just completely does not make sense! Anyways, the fact
that companies take out the taste means that they need to make their products
taste good some other way. You know what that means! Chemical galore!
Low
fat and fat free foods contain so many extra fillers that it is honestly scary!
You’ve got tons of salt and tons of sugar; way more than is healthy and you’ve
also got odd bulking agents, flavor enhancers and even artificial flavoring.
Clearly this can’t be good. However, in a way, it does the trick to making low
fat and fat free foods tastier.
Secondly, now that companies have been
successful in making low fat and fat free foods tasty, people tend to think that
since they taste good AND are low fat, then it’s okay to eat even more of these
foods than regular full fat foods. This is actually very bad! It’s bad because
if you eat more, you end up eating tons more of the chemicals they pump into
these foods! And those chemicals are bad for your body, hands down, without any
questions.
Statistically speaking, when you eat low fat or fat free
foods, typically everyone will end up eating 28% more calories than regular full
fat foods! Can you believe that? So by eating more of these low fat or fat free
foods that are artificially tasty, you’re actually eating more calories than you
should be, than you would be if you were eating full fat foods! Wow.
Now,
that doesn’t mean that if you just eat less of the low fat or fat free foods,
then these will be healthy for you because they really aren’t, period. That also
doesn’t mean that you’re free to eat fatty, greasy foods either because fried
foods are never good for you. What you should be eating though, in terms of fat,
are foods that are high in good fats. These include olive oil, avocadoes, nuts,
seeds and oily fish, like salmon and tuna.
Going the easy route with low
fat or fat free foods, letting companies do the “extra legwork” for you, is just
a bad idea. Success weight loss begins with making good health choices and
sometimes it may mean making a healthy lifestyle change. But the key is to keep
all of your health decisions in your hands. So keep learning about foods and
make sure to keep your health in your focus and you’ll quickly be able to lose
weight successfully!
