There are so many low-fat/ no-fat food options at the supermarket. You would think that if dietary fat was the main cause of our obesity problem, we would be getting thinner. If you ate a lot of “light stuff” we would get lighter. That’s not what the stats are showing us. We’re getting fatter and fatter. What’s going on?
If you took the time to read the ingredients in your no-fat yogurt, you’ll see that corn starch is part of it. Since fat is taken out, they need to add something as a binding agent. Corn starch, corn syrup and the others, are the cheapest food filler money can buy. And it is a processed carbohydrate. This will increase the glycemic index of your food. So you will digest your food faster and soon you will be hungry again.
I know that we’ve been educated to stay way from fat. Reality is we need a daily intake of healthy fat. All the cell of the body needs it. And it looks like processed carbs are the bad guys in weight gain. What do you think?
