Let’s get one thing straight: Your body needs fat! Fat is vital! Fat is essential! Indeed fat is a nutrient for your body. It supports cell growth, protects your body organs and keeps your body warm. It is a source of energy for your body and it helps your body absorb some vitamins too. In addition, the fat in your food makes it taste good! So you should not give it up entirely! |
But beware! Fat is the most concentrated form of energy. A gram of fat provides 9 calories. That’s more than double the amount of calories derived from either carbohydrates or proteins! Naturally the less calories you consume, the more kilos you shed off. You must understand that your body needs fats for your body’s daily requirements, so it is not wise to simply reduce and restrict dietary fat without knowing your body’s needs.
