Eating Lesson 6
Some
of the things you think you know that just aint so continued.
Remember
eating Fresh and Pure food is all you need to do.
Fat
does Not Make You Fat.
One
of the other huge myths is that fat makes you fat. It doesn't.
When you eat fat, your body has to break it down into its little
building blocks and then absorb the pieces. The fat you have in
your body is not the same as the fat you eat. In fact, the fat
naturally found in whole foods is fat you actually need for your
body to function properly.
Essential
Fatty Acids are the name given to the types of fat that you need
to eat. This is why they are called essential. Your body cannot
make them, you must eat them. And these essential fatty acids
are only found with fat that naturally occurs in whole food. What
are these essential fatty acids used for in your body? Well, literally
everything.
Every
cell in your body is partly made up of these essential fatty acids.
To breathe, to have your heart beat, to run, walk, think, to make
hormones, to remember anything, you need essential fatty acids
for all of these and basically, to live. And if you don't eat
them in the food you eat, your body will not function properly.
And the only place you can find essential fatty acids is in food
that has naturally occurring fat in them. So if you try and cut
fat out of your body, you will actually be causing harm and not
really be doing anything to get rid of the fat already in your
body.
So
what is one of the main causes of being fat. Sugar and refined
carbohydrates. NO, not again with the sugar, you might be saying.
Yes, Sugar and refined carbohydrates are really one of the main
causes in many problems we as humans face today. You can pretend
it is not true, you can believe it is not true, but no matter
how you try and avoid it, sugar and refined carbohydrates will
still negatively impact you weather you want them to or not. And
whether or not you believe they will or not.
How
does sugar and refined carbohydrates make you fat? It is really
simple. You have a relatively set amount of fat cells in your
body. It is just a matter of how big your fat cells are.
So
what affects the size of your fat cells? Sugar. Because glucose
is what is stored in your fat cells. And there is a little "gate"
that controls the movement of sugar in and out of your fat cells.
And the key to this little gate is insulin. Insulin is the key
that opens the gates to the fat cells and allows excess glucose
in the blood to go into the fat cells. So if you never eat anything
that raises your blood sugar levels beyond normal, your body will
not release insulin, and you will not get bigger fat cells.
The
body releases insulin to lower blood sugar levels that are too
high. So Sugar and refined carbohydrates are actually what are
one of the biggest contributing factors to why people are overweight.
The
ironic part of all of this, is that when you get food that has
"artificially" been made to be low fat, you know what they usually
put in when they take out the fat? Sugar. They usually add the
very thing that contributes to people being fat when they are
trying to make something that many people think is helping them
not be fat. Fat does not make you fat. In fact, you need the essential
fatty acids found in fat to live. Sugar is one of the biggest
contributing factors to what makes you fat.
In
your next lesson you will learn
the real truth about sugar and refined carbohydrates, since I
have talked about them so much.
