Low Fat Recipes : Why?

Low fat recipes can be found all over these days. But before you go and try out any of these recipes, let's first reason together for a moment about why you would want to.

There are so many people telling us how wonderful a low fat diet can be, and yet in spite of all this wonderful advice people on low fat diets continue to gain weight and get fatter. Also, have you noticed that the longer low fat recipes and eating are pushed, the more heart disease, cancer, and other debilitating diseases we have.

There is something wrong with this picture.

Could it be that we have been misled on the role of fat in the human diet?

Have you noticed that fat is what makes foods taste good? I have.

So if you take the fat out of food, how do you make it taste good? Well generally the answer is with some kind of sugar. Of course everyone knows that sugar can make you fat, so we generally go to artificial sweeteners.

The dirty little secret is that for the most part artificial sweeteners are actually worse for your health than plain sugar.

But let's back up a bit. Why would you want to take the fat out of food in the first place?

Do you think that fat is bad for you? This is a very common misconception.

Guess what, ... fat is good for you!

Did you know that every cell of your body uses fat? Fat is particularly important for brain cells. Could there be a connection between low fat lifestyles and the explosion in brain problems?

Did you also know that your body requires the intake of good fats in order to have the ability to break down and dispose of the toxic fats that your body has accumulated?

Believe it or not, the obesity epidemic is partially caused by the lack of good fats.

If you want to lose unwanted fat from your body you need to learn the secrets of fat.

This makes so much sense! It's so sad to see "low-fat" on things that are supposed to be high in good fats, like butter, milk, and yogurt. At the same time, food producers aren't hesitating to put high fructose corn syrup into foods that don't even need sugar (like bread and spaghetti sauce). Thank you for setting this topsy turvy world right again!

Yes, and did you know that HFCS is 100% toxic to the human body. It has no redeeming value whatsoever.
