Bad Fats Vs. Good Fats

When comparing bad fats vs. good fats…Is there a difference between good fats and bad fats?

Absolutely there is a difference between bad and good fats!

First of all,  you need good fat to burn off the bad fat.  I know this sounds crazy but in order to burn of fat from your body you must eat good fats.

What all the diet plans never told you is this simple fact:  All of those bad fats such as hydrogenated oils, margarine, canola oils, and the substitute butters such as “I can’t believe it’s not butter” are the fats that make you fat!

When you consume the bad fats your body doesn’t know how to break them down and in return they build up in your body as stored fat.

Unfortunately, there’s a misconception of what fats you should eat.

In fact, if you’re trying to lose a few pounds, there are fats you must eat in order to lose weight.  These include: Whole eggs, avocados, real butter, coconut oil, and raw nuts to name a few.

Many of the bad fats come from processed food such as cereals, granola bars,  and whole wheat bread.  I never would have believed it either, but it’s true!  Many of those foods that are labeled healthy are loaded with sugar, which is your worst enemy when it comes to eating healthier and losing weight.

I found this article on bad fats vs. good fats to be helpful from Remedies for Natural Health.

Here’s a simple fact to remember when comparing good fats vs. bad fats:

Sugar and Processed foods are your #1 enemy for maintaining good health!

If you avoid sugar and processed foods there will be remarkable changes in your overall well being.

Healthy Lifestyle Choices

There are many claims of healthy life choices but which ones will actually give you long term results?  Recently I came across this article in Maxim.com which reiterates what I said earlier about fad diets and that they don’t work.

The Maxim staff wrote an article on “Reboot your life” in the health section of Maxim.com.  The staff hit some great points that are worth looking at.  They also said the only thing that creates a healthy lifestyle that works is exercising and eating healthier.

In this article the Maxim staff also gives some tips for the four seasons on how to improve your health in Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.  Many of the tips I agree with but there some  I don’t.  Maybe just 2 or 3, that’s not so bad.  But, you should check out the article and decide for yourself and see what you think.

I would like to know what you think of the article by Maxim.com on “Reboot your life”, or as I say healthy lifestyle choices.  So, please leave a response below and share your thoughts with the community.
