Cut The Fat With Fish - Omega 3 Makes A Major Play In The Weight Loss Industry

You’ve heard it all before. The industry is huge, and everybody has their own little “catch line”. The definition on those catch lines all point to the same page in the weight loss dictionary - eat less calories, do less fat, loss more weight. “You’ve discovered the revolutionary weight loss program that’s rich in good carbohydrates, while still low in fat.” “Lose 2-5 pounds per week without counting calories, carbs or points.” “The weight loss program that allows you to lose weight quickly and keep it off. This unique program allows you to eat as much as you want and exercise less!” (Yeah, Whatever!) The industry wants you to believe that restricting your calorie intake, partnered with a new and specific exercise regime, is all that is needed to reach your goals. For a long time the thinking surrounding the cause of overweight has been simply defined as consuming more calories than are being burned. And, possibly the greatest misconception of all, that all calories are created equal. We are learning now that this is not so. Severely cutting calories slows the metabolism & puts the body into starvation mode. Trying to exercise on a severely restricted caloric intake is not only unrealistic, but can be dangerous to one’s health. Furthermore, all calories are NOT created equal. For example, protein takes longer to digest than carbohydrates, and thus is beneficial in regulating blood sugar, whereas starchy carbohydrates are quickly turned into sugars which in turn feed infections such as candida, and cause inflammation in the body, which leads to weight gain, and can be a contributing factor in most conditions and diseases that afflict us. It has become evident that inflammation is a significant factor in being overweight. Inflammation shows itself in several ways: * Inflation/gaining weight in the abdominal area * Intense cravings for sugar * Moodiness/depression * Fatigue More and more, it is being shown that starches such as pasta, rice, potatoes, corn and bread should be avoided in one’s efforts to lose weight, especially inflammation affected weight. Also to be avoided are processed foods, as they are laden with preservatives and have a high ratio of processed Omega 6 due to large amounts of vegetable based fats such as soy bean oil. Current thinking is that these foods send the body signals that encourage the process of fat accumulation, increasing the number of fat cells in the body, and boosting the conversion of carbohydrates into fat. The closer to its natural state a food is, the more nutritionally beneficial it is in terms of health and weight loss. Processed foods in addition to their inflammatory effect, also bring very little benefit in terms of nutrients, and are low in volume, high in empty calories. Superfoods, which have the biggest nutritional bang for their buck, are usually a high volume, low calorie choice, having the most benefit in weight loss and maintenance of good health. The authorities at http://www.level1diet.com describe the three levels of inflammation health, from a healthy, non inflamed state, to chronic low level inflammation and insulin resistance to the extreme of inflammation that causes hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. As part of their anti-inflammation diet, they have a suggested food list, which can be found at http://www.level1diet.com/foods-to-eat.html An exciting development is that Omega 3 (especially when derived from fatty fish) is being shown to reprogram the body from being in starvation mode, cut down inflammation, and decrease insulin resistance, thus evening out blood sugar levels. This then reduces intense cravings for sugar and carbohydrates, making a sensible eating program much easier to stick to, adds to a general feeling of wellbeing, and helps to increase and steady energy levels.
