Do fats make us fat?
This just not the case according to author and doctor Diana Schwarzbein, author and nutritionist Anne Louise Gittleman, oil specialist Undo Erasmus, Dr. Andrew Weil, and a host of others who have researched this subject over the years.
It seems that our fear of fat has made us fat, with North Americans leading the world in obesity which is now considered $1 in contributing to heart and cardiovascular disease over smoking. Our fear of fat and over consumption of high carbo, low fat diet is the core of our problems surrounding the production of high insulin levels which have resulted in epidemic new cases of diabetes in North America.
High insulin levels are obtained through high carbo diets which are processed in the body to become sugar and then stores in to fat. "A carbohydrate snack must be used for immediate energy or stored into fat. But if the snack is protein and fat, the food is used first to replace cells, enzymes and hormones that are made up of protein and fats, which leaves fewer leftover calories to be stores around the middle." (www.theschwarzbeinprinciple.com)
Dietary fats play a key role in the replenishing process. Like cholesterol deprivation, fat deprivation disrupts all the biochemical processes of your metabolism. It is all about choosing the right fats. Unrefined hempseed oil can furnish the body with the essential fats that it requires. The beauty of hempseed oil is that it is easily used and tastes great. It is light and the addition of hempseed oil to salads, dips, appetizers, soups, smoothies, etc. Makes supplementation a breeze.
