We live in a fat obsessed world where the perpetual battle to get rid of it from our diets and our bodies at all costs rages on. It's the "Darth Vader" of the diet industry and few are the ones who can resist succumbing to the delicious and addictive "darkside" of fatty foods. And thanks to the media, fat's reputation today as an essential nutrient has been put on the back burner. Fat is a neccessary nutrient to burn the baby fat and it's time to set the record straight.
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.
To be able to burn the baby fat more effectively, you have to significantly decrease your fat intake to a normal range. This can be done by making a couple of adjustments in regards to your relationship with food such as how you shop, cook and make the foods you eat. Changing your old food habits to healthier ones will help you lose the pregnancy weight faster.
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.
Your diet varies from one day to the next and so will the fat in your diet. Nature has a way of balancing things out so you can burn the baby fat by keeping all things in moderation. Focus on the big picture by monitoring your fat intake over a series of months rather than obsessing on the fat in the frappuccino you had an hour ago.
Be a smart consumer on nutrition. Try to buy foods with natural ingredients and lower in fat and calories by reading and comparing product labels and brands. Simply eating a balanced low calorie diet that includes the healthy fats will help you to burn the baby fat and stay healthy. - 16004
