Are you ready for one of the biggest myths in the weight loss industry?

Here it is : It's the fat in our diets that is making us fat!

This common mistake is far from true. The fact is, your body needs fat to burn fat. Your brain’s fatty cells also need fats in your diet. Fats are a source of energy; they provide the building blocks for membranes and a variety of hormones and are carriers for vitamins and mineral help with absorption.

Not all fats are good, that’s for sure.  There are both ‘good’ and ‘bad’ fats and the most important thing is to be able to differentiate between the two. As a general rule, good fats are mono-unsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated fats.

Mono-Unsaturated Fats = GOOD

Some good sources of mono-unsaturated fats include peanuts, almonds and avocados which are all great for you.

Poly-Unsaturated Fats = GOOD

Good sources of poly-unsaturated fats are walnuts, salmon, trout and sunflower seeds.

Saturated Fats = GOOD

Good sources of saturated fats can be found in Diary and poultry.

Bad fats are ‘trans fats’ (which are linked to cancer). Make sure you read the label of food and avoid anything that says “hydrogenated”. These bad fats lower your HDL (good cholesterol) and increase your LDL (bad cholesterol), they clog arteries, cause insulin resistance and contribute to diabetes.

            Trans Fats = BAD

            Food with high content of ‘trans fats’ include deep fried foods like chips and

The important thing know is that you need to add healthy oils in your diet like sesame oil, sunflower oil and virgin olive oil. You probably know about the tremendous benefits of virgin olive oil.

There’s also flax-seed oil which provide your body with Omega 3 acids. Flax-seed oil helps lower cholesterol and blood triglycerides and prevents clots in arteries. It protects against high blood pressure, inflammation, water retention (an important part in any weight loss plan), the list goes on.

But there's one ‘oil’ that's better than everything else listed above when you want to lose a lot of weight fast

Discover the truth about body fat and why we have cravings…

It seems that more and more scientists are discovering that your common burgers and fries, the kind of junk food everybody eats from time to time are as addictive as hard drugs.

You probably already know that the global obesity rate is steadily on the rise for men, children and women alike. Could there be any link? Could it be that the extremely harsh refined carbohydrates from sugar and white bread are the things causing this alarming rise in obesity??

Let's look at what happens when your blood sugar spikes after eating white bread and drinking soft drinks…

After a sugary meal…. your blood glucose levels spike…. which triggers the pancreas to start producing insulin…. which in turn lowers blood sugar levels..

There are a number of problems with this process, all of which contribute to weight gain:

Problem #1: Insulin is a hormone that stores carbohydrate calories in the form of fat,

Problem #2: Insulin tells the body not to release any stored fats to use as energy,

Problem #3: Insulin inhibits other important hormones in your body, one of which is responsible for burning fat and calories and the other is none other than the human growth hormone.

Problem #4: Insulin also causes hunger by reducing your blood sugar levels in only a couple hours after the sugary meal.

Can you see a pattern forming? First you eat a sugary meal… Then insulin gets released within your body to lower your blood sugar levels… Once your blood sugar levels are lowered, it causes you to crave more food... And naturally when you crave food…  You Eat!

This vicious cycle is caused by refined carbohydrates found in sugar and white bread.

On the flip side, if you restrict the number of calories you eat you naturally begin to feel tired, hungry and deprived.  This is the main reason why diets fail.  But unfortunately people blame themselves for not having enough will power.

The truth is that weight loss has little to do with will power. What you need is the right information.
