Saturated Fats You Can Eat
November 26, 2008
Having a handy eating guide is as good as having your own personalized nutritionist; this is an important and indispensable part of good dieting and acquiring the right directions to a health regime that matches your body’s needs for proper weight maintenance.
For example, not many people are aware of the fact that there are actually some kinds of saturated fats that are good for you in controlled amounts; most people assume (wrongly) that all saturated fats are bad for them and need to be excluded from their diet if they are to lose any weight or control fat-intake.
We are here to dispel those myths about saturated fats and let you in on the facts about fats, especially when these are typically like other nutrients, which help to balance your daily diet when consumed in the right proportions. So, instead of reaching for that candy bar just yet or the cookie jar, if you get your saturated fats from natural foods, even those containing full cream can be good for you!
That’s right! Naturally available saturated fats unlike those contained in processed foods or canned food items are also overloaded with preservatives and extra salts or sugars that further add to the kilojoules, which only work towards setting you up for a royal battle of the bulge. If you just keep your servings reasonable for your target health goals, you can go ahead and gorge on certain very tasty and nutrition-packed saturated fats, including non-vegetarian fare.
For example, meat with flavoured fats like that in rib may be heavy on the calories but it also has the advantage of adding CCK, which is a great satiety hormone that leaves you feeling full for a long time, thus staving off hunger pangs and helping you eat healthier; the same goes for non-fried (try roasted chicken breast) chicken skin, which provides for your daily selenium (mineral) requirements for warding off cancer. Also, including dairy products, be they milk, cheese, whole eggs, for the flavour you enjoy over fat content choices in your diet is a smarter choice for eating lesser kilojoules than the fat-free versions, according to researchers at Cornell University, USA.
Stick with a smart saturated fats inclusive daily diet and look and feel great too!
