It seems as though this blog will only focus on fat.. Hrmm.
Not quite, but fat is such a big issue in nutrition today. You could say it’s a hot subject.
Because here comes yet another update on fat.
There is a way of eating (I refuse to call it dieting since there are people who eat this way regularly, no matter weight, disease or lack of disease) called LCHF, which stands for Low Carbohydrate High Fat. This way is also called Stone Age diet. It all comes down to eating the way our ancestors supposedly ate. High amount of natural fat, low amount of grains, starch and sugars.
Unlike Atkins LCHF is about eating only natural fats, this means what you get from your animals or nuts and seeds, LCHF is also about eating organic food, no synthetic sweeteners to compensate for the lack of sugar. Margarine, aspartame, glutamate etc are all seen as unnatural products.
The idea is that by eating this way, you will lower the amount of insulin (the hormone that regulates your blood sugar, but also the way you store fat in your body) in the blood, thus causing less fat to be stored in the body.
I’ve started a separate blog about me and LCHF which can be found at http://lchffood.wordpress.com, there is also a link to it in the list.
