Low-Fats Diet Facts

Low-fat diets are diets that dramatically limit the grams of fat a person is allowed to consume throughout the day. Low-fat diets, though useful for short-term weight loss, may not be healthy or successful in the long-term.

• Low-fat diets can help to lose weight, but it is more important to make healthy choices, not just limit fat intake.
• Eliminating too much fat can have serious health consequences.
• Mental health deficits like depression and vitamin deficiencies can occur.
• Low-Fat Diet can raise your triglycerides. Because the low-fat diet is also a high-carb diet, this diet can lead to an increase in blood triglycerides, potentially elevating the risk of cardiovascular disease.
• The Low-fat diet also discourages people from consuming healthy foods. This is because they contain saturated fats and cholesterol.
• Replacing  fats with yunks, chocolate syrup or sugared beverages, will not aid in achieving good health or a successful weight loss
• Low-Fat Diet can lower HDL cholesterol. High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) is often referred to as the “good” cholesterol. Having high levels of HDL is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease.

In as much you are trying to watch your weight, try also to watch the amount of low-fat diet you consume, for as much as it is useful, it might also be harmful to health if being consumed on a long term scale.
