The Role of Fat in Weight Loss
Many people struggle fruitlessly to lose weight.
Here are a few tips that might shed some light onto why that might be and how to create more success in meeting weight loss goals.
Acids are Stored in Fat Tissue
Acids and toxins steal electrons from the atoms and molecules that make up your cells. Every part of your body is made of cells.
These damaged atoms damage the cells, which are made of atoms, so that the cells and, therefor the body, doesn’t function properly. Then disease results. This is also called oxidative stress. Grains, sugars and, especially cola drinks!!, are examples of acid-forming foods.
Alkaline elements neutralize acids because they donate electrons to atoms and molecules. Vegetables and fruits, such as lemons and tomatoes, are alkaline-forming. Even though lemons, etc. are normally thought of as acid, they are actually alkaline-forming when they are metabolized by the body. They leave behind an alkaline ash (residue) when they are burned as fuel (metabolized) by the body. Making smoothies is such a simple and delicious way of eating tons of veggies!
The body, in its wisdom, wraps toxins in fat because fat is an insulator and this protects the vital organs from damage from those toxins.
When the toxins are eliminated the fat is no longer needed and it is released. Most diets fail because they don’t take this into account. Fortunately, there are many ways to cleanse, to detoxify, the system.
The Right Fats Increase the Metabolic Process and Actually Burn Fat
Bad fats, such as hydrogenated oils, processed oils and margarine, get stored as fat. This does not happen with the right kind of fats such as olive oil, avocados, coconut oil and butter. The body uses these oils for energy.
