So let's see what's wrong with these man-made fats and oils.
All About Fats & Oils and their Refining
It might be a new idea to you, but in the process of harsh chemical refining used to make conventional vegetable oils found in your regular supermarket, certain compounds not only beneficial for, but sorely needed by your body are removed.
Among these, the most important ones are oil-soluble vitamins, antioxidants, lecithin, and phytosterols.
Here's how as a result of chemical refining, vegetable oils and fats become harmful cooking fats.
Believe it or not, these kind of bad fats in most processed foods have unthinkable effects on your overall health, including your metabolism and your body fat. How so, you ask?
Well, you may have heard that in order to function at all, your body requires essential fatty acids (EFAs). They can't be produced in your body - if they miss from the food, you start to experience extremely serious health issues, due to an essential fatty acid deficiency.
When we talk at all about fats and healthy oils, you must always remember that your body requires these essential fatty acids to make possible any weight loss.
This may go against all you've heard by know, but it’s true.
Certain types of fats actually help you lose fat, because they turn on your body’s fat-burning mechanisms.
Moreover, they improve your body's absorption of necessary oil-soluble vitamins and enhance the flavor of your food, stopping many of your food cravings.
With this in mind, you should know that a diet low in good fats creates the absolute opposite reaction in your body than what you’d expect:
- First, it causes you to experience a hormonally-related hunger and irresistible food cravings, particularly for fatty foods - that you won’t to be able to fight
- Second, you will gain fat - due to a spike in your pancreatic hormone level, insulin, which causes fat-storage vs. fat-burn
