How High-Fat Diets Work
Posted on 23. Jul, 2009 by admin in General
According to high fat-diets you can lose fat without losing muscle mass. It consists of a very low carbohydrate intake during 5 days, followed by two days with a high intake of carbohydrates to achieve a good compensation. Monday through Friday you should eat about 65% of the recommended daily allowance of fat, 30% protein and 5% carbohydrates. Over the weekend, you should have an intake of a 60% carbohydrate, 25% protein and 15% fat. The proportions in terms of fat are as follows: 40% omega 3 and omega 6 (e.g. linseed oil), 40% of unsaturated fats (mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated) and 20% saturated fat.
Regarding the training, by having the first days of the week with the largest groups, and having the carbohydrates over the weekend, we have the energy tanks full of glycogen. What about cholesterol? If this balanced intake of fat is not exceeding the saturated fat, there should be no problem. It is necessary to check your cholesterol level before starting such diets.
If you are not following a healthy high-fat diet but you are still consuming a lot of fat and not exercising, this will make you gain weight at an unhealthy level. However, you can look out for diet pills that can act as fat burners while you are sitting at work or watching TV. You may find some good pills that are equal to thirty minutes or up to one hour in the gym. Or you can also look for diet pills that will absorb the fat consumed in actual time so you won’t have to worry about burning the fat after it has become part of your system.
