Fat is not a bad word but a necessary nutrient that has been unfairly vilified by the media due to our over indulgence of high fat foods and our sedentary and unhealthy lifestyles. We need to include it in our diets because it is an important part of our body's physical, cellular and biochemical functionality. To much of a good thing such as fatty foods can put you on the long and steep road to burn the baby fat. Fat is not the problem we are because we make, buy and eat too much high fat foods.
It's time to wake up and cut back on your fat. The operative word being "cut back" and not "eliminate". We need to "cut back" the fat because a diet high in fat is connected to a host of health problems, namely, cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
The logical way to go about losing pregnancy weight is to greatly reduce the fat in your diet. The first thing to do to cut out fat is by altering the way you buy, cook and prepare food. Being more health conscious of the food you eat is a step in the right direction to burn the baby fat.
Consumers today can easily monitor the amount of fat that they consume by reading the nutrition facts on products or the nutrition pamphlets provided by fast food restaurants and food companies. Also some restaurants have healthier menu selections to cater to people who are looking for healthier meal options.
Fat is an essential nutrient but it should be no more than 35 percent of your entire diet and of that only 300 mg should be cholesterol. The monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats such as any vegetable, nut, olive or fish oils are the good fats and therefore should be the fats that take up 25 percent of your dietary fats. On the other hand, the bad fats such and the trans (hydrogenated fats) and saturated fats (bacon and whole milk) are to be eaten less and should only take no more than 10 percent of your dietary fats.
Remembering to eat fat in moderation will keep your fat consumption in the healthy range. Naturally, some days you will eat more fat than others but being aware of what you are eating will balance out your fat intake. Because of this, a healthy diet focuses on the average fat consumption over a period of months or weeks instead of daily fat consumption.
In order to maintain a balanced diet, you need to eat more of the healthy fats and less of the unhealthy ones that can be detrimental to your health. Burning the baby fat requires cutting back on your calories especially the calories from foods laden with saturated and trans fats. Eat a balanced low calorie diet and increase your physical activity and watch the weight melt off. - 15995
