Fats

[twister_nt]

I read in one of the other posts that it is a good idea to eat more fat to lose fat. If I was to change my diet so that most of my energy comes from fat, would that mean I should start doing lots of cardiovascular exercise?
Also, how much healthy fat (I'm guessing they are liquid at room temp) should I eat everyday?

Thanks, Luke.

If you would like to use fats as energy, then you need to get into Ketonic or CDK diet.
1)Ketonic diet you keeps your carbs near 0, high fat/mod. protein --- 70% fat/30% protein: try foods like steak, pork chops, flaxseed oil, bacon,eggs, chicken ..etc.. high fats, moderate protein and 0 carbs-->
2)CDK, you keep your carbs low --- 50 carbs if you have the metabolism of a turtle and 150 if you have a fast metabolism... eat flaxseed oil, all natural peanut butter, grapeseed oil, olive oil as FATS and take in high proteins 1.5-2.5 per lb of lean body weight.
--- if you want to get really lean--> do 30 min cardio AM empty stomach and 30 min after you workout ---- all cardio low intensity.. walk on treadmill at an incline (4.5 incline, 3.0 speed) ----

Thanks Mr.x, one last thing, is it true that you cannot gain muscle and be on a fat loss diet?

Hey bro just thought I would give some info
1:Cholesterol
White fatty substance that circulates in your blood that is necessary for our bodies to function properly.
Most cholesterol in you body is made by your liver, but cholesterol can also enter your body through the food that you eat.
Sources are foods that come from animals or contain animal fat. For example meat, poultry,dairy products, egg yolks, shellfish.
There are two main types of cholesterol: HDL (high density lipoprotein) and LDL (low density lipoprotein). High levels of HDL cholesterol help lower the risk of heart disease. High levels of LDL cholesterol increase the risk of heart disease.
A high dietary fat intake, especially saturated fat, may raise your blood cholesterol.
2:Triglycerides
Fats that circulate in the bloodstream.
High levels often appear with other well-known risk factors such as obesity and diabetes and may increase the risk of heart disease.
A high sugar and/or alcohol intake as well as a high fat intake may increase your triglyceride levels.

3:Hydrogenated Fats
Fats which have undergone a process used to change liquid fat to a solid form at room temperature. For example, brick margarines and snack foods. This process creates saturated and trans fatty acids that raise your blood cholesterol level.

4:Saturated Fats
Found in animal products like meat, dairy products made from whole milk, egg yolks, shortening, palm and coconut oils.
Usually solid at room temperature.
Saturated fats raise your cholesterol levels.

5olyunsaturated Fats
Usually liquid at room temperature.
Contain essential fatty acids and are found in fish and vegetable oils such as safflower, sunflower, corn and soybean.
Help to lower your total blood cholesterol (including HDL cholesterol).

6:Monounsaturated Fats
Usually liquid at room temperature.
Found primarily in canola oil, olive oil, peanut oil, and some margarines.
May lower your blood LDL cholesterol.

7:Omega-3 Fats
A type of polyunsaturated fat commonly found in fish oils.
Tend to lower blood triglycerides and cholesterol.

8:Trans Fatty Acids
Found in many processed foods that contain partially hydrogenated fats.
Occur naturally in very small quantities in beef and dairy products.
Have been shown to raise blood LDL cholesterol levels

READ! the labels on the foods you guys buy, I can't stress this enough, remember the closer the ingredient is to the start of the list the more there is of that ingredient!

Stay Healthy!
