Non Fat Diet

Nonfat diets: Getting up your body's defences and playing with your health


The dangers of nonfat diets are very grave. Please read this article to find out why nonfat dieting locks your body and can create severe health risks.



Dieting without any fat - the life-threatening misconception that you must know about


Non-fat diets can actually be very dangerousThe fatal misconception of dieting without ANY intake of fat in any form or shape will make weight loss an uphill battle endangering your health.

When you try to lose weight by opting to go without any fat intake, the diet you've started won't make you feel good.

Fats — oils — are an essential part of our nutrition and the body needs some fat every day to manage its vital functions.

Body fat is basically just stored energy, lacking any other nutrients. But the body needs SOME oil every day to run its organs... and this oil has to be in a form that does contain nutrients.

If you leave out all fat from your diet, the body is not going to GET those nutrients it needs.

As a result, the body is deprived of what it needs... and this in a time when everything else in its diet is also suddenly and drastically reduced.

The human body is a remarkably self-governing and self-healing entity. It has its own blueprint on how to maintain its organs, muscles, joints and balance.

But it depends on YOU giving it the needed building materials.


Choosing an oil-including diet which won't close down your body's mechanisms

Your body NEEDS some oil every day - but choose the best kind for yourself!If you choose a diet which deprives your body of its essential building materials, the end result will not be a healthy loss of weight.

You'll lose weight all right but too much of that weight loss will be muscle tissue, not fat.

Look at it this way:

Your body regulates its functions based on the situation which it experiences.

For instance, if it's hot, you sweat. That's your body getting rid of excess heat.

Notice how you cannot just DECIDE to perspire?

Sweating is just one of many functions which you don't control knowingly but which your body simply performs automatically, based on its own "decisions" about what it needs.

The heart beats, the lungs inhale and exhale, blood circulation works without a conscious decision.

Your body automatically regulates its own functions.

Does it just decide to do whatever, whenever, out of some whim?

No. It REACTS to things.

The temperature of the body increases and the body reacts accordingly.

It could be a fever or it could be a hot day... but the body gets hotter and it starts to work to cool itself down to its optimum temperature.

Metabolism is the activity of changing our nutritional intake into substances which the body can use for maintaining its functions.

Metabolism also includes changing any excess useable nutrition (such as fats, sugars, carbohydrates) into storable form (fat tissue in the main) and getting rid of waste products.

Metabolism is a very broad and extensive activity that occurs constantly in our bodies.

It is the most significant of our long-term bodily functions.

In other words, with time, any problems in metabolism will bring a lot of OTHER problems, symptoms and conditions.

Fat metabolism is part of the whole metabolism cycle of the body.

Fat metabolism is simply the changing of energy into fat tissue — when our food intake is in excess of the energy which the body uses at that moment — and then changing the fat back into energy when we take in LESS than the amount of energy used at that time.

However, the body also has safeguarding mechanisms. The body REGULATES its rate of metabolism by what it experiences.

Sweating is a part of metabolism. The body perspires only when it's hot. But when it's COLD, you won't sweat because your body CONSERVES its heat, right?

Well, everyone knows that, of course.

But did you know that the same principle of "conservation" works with fat metabolism — especially when body fat should be converted back into energy when you use more energy than you take in?


If your diet has NO fat at all, the body resists giving up its body fat tooth and nail!

See, the body "thinks" that since all fat (oil) is so scarce — none of it coming into the body for weeks — then fat must be CONSERVED AT ALL COSTS.

Your body's singular goal is to keep itself alive for as long as possible. So, if you could read the "orders" imprinted in its blueprint of "keeping itself alive," the reasoning would be something like this:

"All right, now my nutritional sensors tell me that there's been absolutely NO fat coming in for a couple of weeks.

"This indicates that this is a permanent change in my nutrition. As I need fat to stay alive, this is a red-alert emergency — a major threat to my survival.

"Solution for remaining alive for as long as possible: Body fat must be conserved and all systems must be programmed to RESIST the changing of body fat into energy.

"Engage all systems to conserve energy (make the owner of the body feel drowsy and listless so he/she won't use up much energy, convert muscle tissue into energy, deprive organs of fats, etc.) — RED ALERT, RED ALERT, fat metabolism closing down..."



You cut all fat intake in order to lose body fat... and the body responds to it by engaging all its systems to RESIST losing body fat!

Here's the good word: TAKE IN SOME OIL DAILY.

If you want to HARNESS your body's fat metabolism to work WITH you in achieving the goal of losing body fat, take in a little bit of cold-pressed oil every day.

It doesn't need to be much (and it can't be much for obvious reasons) and it should be good oil with all the needed nutrients.

Otherwise, you will slow down the conversion of body fat into energy.

And that's not even the worst of no-fat diets...




Life-threatening possibilities

No fat diets have been known to cause grave deprivations in the body. Your pancreas, for instance, needs some oil every day. Other organs need it too.

There's more about this in our special publications on weight loss and dieting. For now, let's just say that you had better consult a nutritional specialist before even thinking about a diet totally void of fat.

It can be very dangerous.

So do include enough good oils in your daily diet.

That way, you'll lose body fat without resistance and also avoid any possibility of facing the life-threatening conditions which may ensue a longer period of totally no-fat dieting.
