Australians alone spend over $400 million per year and this figure is much more even in the United States in a fruitless quest to be slim, with 95% of people who go on weight loss diets regaining everything they have lost plus more within two years.
Not only are many popular diets ineffective, but they are also a health risk. Research into popular diet books found that only one in four diets reviewed met current nutrition guidelines with many eliminating important, nutritious foods.
Every time we pick up a magazine there�s another crazy fad diet. You see some diets will give you initial weight-loss, but find yourself on the merry-go-round of weight loss. Eliminating foods temporarily for the short term of your diet only to regain the weight, plus more when you re introduce those foods back into your diet.So what is the Actual Truth about Fat?
Most people think that avoiding all fat is the path to true health, but in reality there are two substances that can only be found in fat that are just as necessary to our Survival as proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Of the many kinds of fats, only the ones called Omega 3 and 6 have been designated as essential fatty acids (EFAs) by scientists, because every living cell in the body needs these fats, but the body can�t make them on its own. A direct food source is always required.
The key to health from fats lies in ingesting the essential ones in the proper ratio. This isn�t usually achieved as it has been shown that the average diet is far too high in Omega 6 and dangerously low in omega 3. Another concern we face when choosing a source of EFAs is that the majority of oils found on grocery store shelves have been damaged by heat, light and oxygen and modern processing practices. These oils may no longer provide healthful EFAs and may even be harmful.
