Dangers of the Low Fat Diet

The biggest complaint about low fat and low cholesterol diets is that they always leave the individual feeling hungry. This is because fats will take longer to digest, and without them; the person will feel the need to put something else in their stomach more frequently to satisfy this constant hunger.

While a person may eat less fat on these diets, they by default end up eating far more calories from sugars and starches instead. Ironically, these calories[i] are quickly converted into body fat, and will cause the blood fat and cholesterol levels to spike.[ii]

These fat and cholesterol particles also increase significantly in size[iii], making them that much more difficult to exit the arterial walls. As if this wasn’t a strong enough argument against low fat diets, the amount of blood cholesterol that is changed into bile acids is also significantly decreased[iv], making it more difficult for the body to rid itself of excess fats, making the persons overall condition much worse[v].

These low fat diets will also throw the liver into overdrive, and cause it to produce far more cholesterol than it would under different conditions, causing the blood cholesterol to rise sharply again[vi].

This is exactly the opposite of what heart disease patients want to achieve. Reducing cholesterol inside the body is not nearly as much about taking unhealthy foods out of the diet, as it is adding more important foods back into it; so that the body will be able to process this cholesterol through the digestive system and out of the body without any hindrances. The body knows what to do, the only reason it won’t is because we haven’t given it enough raw materials to do its job.

Start by adding 3-4 Lecithin Capsules (21-grains) at every meal, and 2 tablespoons of Wheat Germ to every meal, and you will able to feel your body transform day by day. You will able to eat some fats and not be concerned about it building up inside your arterial walls.
