Your Fat-Burning Questions Answered!
Q.
I eat a low fat diet and can't seem to lose any fat, especially
that stubborn belly fat.
A.
That's the problem, a low fat diet can put the brakes on fat loss (so if you're trying to get rid
of that stubborn belly fat read on)
and actually produce more cortisol, (A hormone associated with the physical effects of the stress response within the body) which when produced in the body contributes to gaining fat
as well as not be able to lose fat. Many women I consult with I find their fat intake is way to
low. Once I help them adjust it, they start seeing results.
One of the most important fats are EFA's (essential fatty acids)
Taking fish oil is a great source to get this type of fat 6-10 grams a day.
Which falls polyunsaturated fats.
You also want to take in monounsaturated fats found in nuts and seeds.
And even a small amount of saturated fats will help improve your HDL
(think egg yolks)
However, don't think you can eat all the egg yolks in
the world either.
Balance is key!
