LOW FAT DIET - HIGH CARBOHYDRATE DIETSLOW-FAT DIETTHE CONCEPT Low-Fat diets are extremely healthy for the body. By consuming less fat, the body stores less fat. Fat is the source of energy for a normal body. Fat is broken down very slowly, allowing some to be stored for later use by the body. When you are not consuming fat, your body begins to convert your stored fat to energy, causing you to lose weight. THE PLAN A low fat diet cuts out many of the causes of being overweight. Fat is digested and absorbed very quickly. The energy produced is adequate, yet there are healthier methods of energy producing. Carbohydrates are also converted into energy, and depending on what type of carb you eat. This diet recommends that you eat very little fat and eat more complex carbohydrates. Carbs are broken down into simple carbs, complex carbs, and very complex carbohydrates. Simple carbs are sugar, found in syrup, candy, soda, etc. Simple carbs are broken down very quickly and force the body to digest faster, meaning they shock your system in larger amounts (a "sugar high"). Complex carbohydrates are broken down by the body a lot slower, which allows the body to digest slowly, making you full for much longer, not shocking your system, and being converted to enough energy to supply your body. Very complex carbohydrates, such as fiber, are not digested by the body because they are too complex. They keep you full for a long time, and do not get stored in the body as fat. You should eat less animal fat, so replace fatty meats like beef and lamb with chicken and fish. Use less sugary foods, cook with less butter, use less fatty condiments like mayonaise. Eat more complex carbs like pasta, bread, potatoes, and more fiber. Combine all the guidelines with some exercise, and you'll be on your way to a fit, healthy body.
