Although it may seem like a contradiction, the right kind of fats, the Essential Fatty Acids, or EFA’s, can actually make it easier for you to lose weight. After all, the ‘low-fat’ and ‘no-fat’ diets have not worked. Here are the main reasons why eating the right fats can help your body shed unwanted weight:
1. When your metabolic rate goes up, your ability to shed excess weight improves. This is simply because the body becomes much more efficient at using the excess fat, which is actually stored energy, as energy.
2. When your body starts producing energy more efficiently, you also feel more energetic. This means that you want to move your body, another reason for weight loss.
3. The right fats help your blood glucose to become more stable. When this happens, you have significantly less food cravings, which is another way that you slowly, but very surely lose weight.
4. The right fats have an amazing ability to help regulate moods, because they have a direct impact on brain function. This is how they help to stop emotional eating. Depression can be directly influenced by the right fats, which also stops unnecessary binges.
5. The right fats help every single cell to function more efficiently, which means that nutrients can get into the cells with greater ease, and toxins can leave easily too. This means that the good food you are eating is being used more efficiently, leaving you feeling satisfied. This means your body isn’t constantly searching for nutrients, which often leads to persistent cravings.
6. Women often blame their hormones for food cravings and overeating. As hormones become more balanced when cells are functioning optimally, these hormonal cravings often disappear.
7. When people are stressed they often turn to food to make themselves feel better. The right fats help with managing stress, as they are working to improve hormonal balance, enhance energy levels and balance moods. The end result is that stress becomes more manageable, and stress-eating is no longer required.
The right fats work at the cellular level, supplying your body with essential nutrients that optimize its overall functioning. Losing weight is part of the process of improving health and may take longer than the ‘quick and nasty’ weight loss solutions that are doomed to failure. It may take up to 3 months before you start noticing that your weight is starting to go down. You may increase the amount of oil that you take to more than the recommended dosage, to speed up weight loss. And you can’t eat doughnuts and expect the oil to work like magic. You have to remove refined carbohydrates from your diet too.
Adding a nutrient dense green super food, like Beyond Greens, can speed up weight loss too, as you are supplying your body with a nutrient dense drink that can replace some of your meals. Although it may take longer to lose weight using this method, the end result is significantly more impressive than simple weight loss.
