Obesity research is basically an attempt to explain attitude of slim people towards obese. Some doctors don’t want to deal with obese patients because they think; they are dealing with someone non sensitive towards his/her own health. Obesity is beyond control of obese person. There could be genetic, hormonal or metabolic reasons behind altered physiology.
Intake of carbohydrates (sugar and starches) and fat
generally blamed for getting obese or overweight. My great grandfather died at the age of 105
year and his diet was always rich in fat and protein with optimal amount of carbohydrates, but he remained slim and active throughout
his life. The narrative that dietary fat causes heart attack is an absurd idea. I wonder to learn that Dr. Atkin’s New Diet Revolution also suggested high-fat
diet to minimize the risk of heart disease. On the contrary low-fat and low-carbohydrate (low calorie) diet being recommended by the physicians could be more harmful for your
heart. Diet rich in fat
and low in carbohydrates improves the level of HDL and reduces the level of LDL in our blood, which is said to be healthy environment for our heart. Fat rich and low-carb diet also controls
blood pressure and insulin level. The low-fat diet which people
have been eating with hopes of protecting
heart has been bad for heart ‘actually’
as it is rich in carbohydrates.
Our bodies burn carbohydrates along with fat to generate energy. Carbohydrates are burned first and fat later by our bodies. So, by drastically reducing
carbohydrates and eating more fat and proteins, our bodies would ‘definitely’ reduce weight by burning stored body fat more efficiently for fuel and energy. When
your body changes from carbohydrate
burning engine to fat burning engine, our fat storing spots (belly, hips and
thighs) become a source of energy; and we lose weight in spite of eating fat rich food with little or no carbohydrates. When this happens, we feel less hungry and
tend to eat less.
