What Every Dieter Needs to Know About High Fat Diets With
Dr. Udo Erasmus
If you're not on it, chances are someone you know is.
It's the high fat, high protein, low carbohydrate Atkins
diet, and it's hotter than ever.
Dieters across the country report their waistlines are melting
away at record paces.
But can gorging on fat really be healthy?
A leading expert on fats and oils says diets rich in fat
can make you trim and healthy, but only if they are the right
fats. He emphasizes that dieters must learn that there are
two types of fats: "Good Fats" and "Bad Fats."
"All fats are not created equally," says Dr. Udo Erasmus,
author of the book, "Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill". "Eating
the 'Good Fats' will slim you, improve your circulation,
and boost your energy. But eating the 'Bad Fats', even though
you may lose weight, can lead to serious health problems
- even heart attacks and cancer."
Dr. Udo says although the Atkins Diet has produced weight
loss for many people over the past 30 years, it has never
defined which fats produce health benefits and which fats
promote poor health.
Eat the "Good Fats"
"Good Fats" and oils are rich in the "Essential Fatty Acids" omega-3
and omega-6. "These nutrients are vital for health and life," says
Dr. Udo. "They
help build muscle mass, break down body fat, and improve
mood and mental clarity. They can even prevent damage
caused by consuming the Bad Fats."
Dr. Udo says diets lacking sufficient levels of essential
fats often produce dry skin, constipation, poor concentration,
reproductive failure, and even behavioral changes due to
brain deterioration.
Foods containing the Good Fats include salmon, mackerel,
trout, and flax, safflower, and sunflower seeds.
Avoid the "Bad Fats"
Fat becomes toxic to the body through processing and packaging
that is used to obtain longer shelf life and greater convenience
for manufacturers and consumers. Essential Fattys are destroyed
by light, air, and heat. These three destructive influences
produce molecules that have been changed from natural and
healthy to unnatural and toxic. Have the fatty foods in your
diet been exposed to air, light, or heat? If so, they may
make you thin, but they are probably harmful to your overall
health.
"Dr. Atkins was right. High-carbohydrate/low fat diets just
made America fatter," says Dr. Udo. "But if you're like the
millions who will be trying his diet this year, just remember
that for healthy weight loss, the quality of the fats must
also be right."
