Why Eating Fat Will Not Make You Fat | ISO Herbal Oil

 

 Have you ever heard of these?

“Don’t eat fat if you want to lose weight.”

“Eating fat will make you fat because it is fat.”

These are some of the common myths that people have against eating fat.

Fat has always been demonized as being unhealthy and fattening. And one of the reasons cited is that it contains too many calories. In this article, we will be debunking the myth that eating fat makes you fat.

Fat contains 9 calories per gram while carbs and protein contain 4 calories. So, eating fat will increase your total daily caloric intake. And this will invariably get stored in your fat cells.

The common notion is that every excess calorie we consume gets stored in fat. This is an oversimplified notion that doesn’t hold any water when put to test.

Nobody becomes fat overnight. If this was how (eating extra calories) we were really getting fat, then our bodies will be like a giant balloon blowing up with every extra calorie we eat.

Also, this doesn’t explain the following cases :

●      People who are lean remain lean irrespective of eating any amount of calories without holding the excess calories in fat cells.

●      Or the same lean person, eating the same food, starts gaining fat as he grows older.

●      In a family, eating the same food, one member can be lean while the other becomes fat.

Even a fat person will remain fat at a certain level. His body fat will remain constant, unaffected by how much extra calories he is consuming.

 BMR explains it all – Does it?

 BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) means the number of calories you are burning when your body is at rest.

The BMR varies from person to person. So the explanation goes that the lean person has high BMR so he is able to burn off excess calories as heat. He won’t be storing it as fat.

And, our fat person is doomed to remain fat because he has a low BMR. He will be storing excess calories as fat because he is not able to burn it off.

But why?

Why is a fat person storing extra calories as fat? How come his BMR doesn’t rise to match the excess calories to burn it or use it as energy?

So, the real problem is not the number of extra calories you eat. It is how your body responds to those extra calories.

So, is Fat a bad source or a good source?

Let’s see how fat affects our body!!

Fat is important for the absorption of Fat soluble Vitamins – The fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K require fat to get absorbed by the body.

It’s an energy source – Per gram of fat provides 9 cal. From the standpoint of your body, this is not a negative factor. It is a more dense source of energy for the body. When compared with Carbs and Protein which only provide 4 cal per gram, fat is a superior energy source.

Fat provides Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) – The body cannot make these essential fatty acids. And the body cannot work without them. Fat from your food is the only source from which the body gets these Essential Fatty Acids.

It protects every cell in your body – Every cell has an outer layer called cell membrane. The cell membrane is made of fat (phospholipid, triglycerides, and cholesterol). It helps in the nutrient exchange in the cells.

It allows the nutrients to get inside the cell and waste products get out of the cells. The better the structure of these cell membranes, the better the nutrient transfer.

Best Sources –

Ghee (Clarified Butter), Eggs, Butter, Animal fat, Cheese, Fatty fish, Full-fat milk, Olive oil, Coconut oil, Palm oil.

Avoid –

Trans fat which is mainly found in processed foods.  All types of vegetable oils like sunflower oil, mustard oil, soybean oil, peanut oil.

Looking at fat from the standpoint of calories and discarding all the benefits it provides is ludicrous. So, don’t strip away the fat from your diet. Fat is a friend. Strip away the false assumption that it is fattening and unhealthy.
