Only if you carry on eating too many carbohydrates. In fact, the wonder of these Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) is that they actually boost your metabolism, so you burn energy more efficiently. And, they help to stop food cravings. Furthermore, in boosting your energy levels you feel more like exercising, so lose weight in this way too. Many people find that they start losing weight slowly, without really trying – although you can’t live on processed foods and expect great long term results. These essential fats
also seem to suppress appetite, so you are eating less and what you are eating is being used more efficiently. The fat-free fad diets were based on ignorance, not science.
