HOW THE FAT IN YOUR DIET DETERMINES THE AMOUNT OF YOUR BODY WEIGHT

Research has shown that body fat may be more closely related to the fat in your diet than to the total calories. The protein and carbohydrates diet, we eat are easily burnt up by the body mechanism, whereas if the content in our diet exceed the required amount needed by the body for energy, the body takes into fat storage


It takes the body more energy to convert carbohydrate to fat than it takes to convert dietary fat to fat. By dietary fat, I mean the fat content the fat content in your diet.

The body usually finds a way of burning totally if not all the carbohydrate you give it in a given day, a very minute fraction of the carbohydrates is sometime converted to fat.

The body expends two or more times more energy metabolizing carbohydrates compared when compared with fat. So it burns two or more times calories just getting it out from your system (intestine) into your bloodstream and transforming it to glycogen for storage in your liver and muscles and it takes eight times more calories to convert any part of it to fat.

There is a weight management value associated with cutting down the value/quantity of fat in your diet and substituting it with carbohydrates.

In conclusion, the key to a permanent low amount of body fat is not in cutting down the amount of calories or dieting, but it is lies simply in low – fat diet intake.
