Over the weekend I watched "Fathead", documentary by Morgan Spurlock's in response to "super size me". The documentary completely call everything I know about weight loss and heart disease and also incredibly informative and entertaining.
Comedian Tom Naughton, and computer programmer, set out to prove Morgan Spurlock's wrong. Fast food can be part of a healthy diet. Tom decided that he will eat fast food three times a day for a month, but he was Spurlock's ... lose weight, don't get it.
According to "Fathead" official website of the creators describe the film as "delicious parody of super size me. ..Naughton serves up juicy Bologna facts to be stun most viewers such as: Obesity "epidemic" wildly exaggerated, CDC. People Government classifies as "excess" have more time than people are classified as "normal weight" Low Cholesterol is unhealthy. Lowfat slow diets can lead to depression and diabetes type II. Saturated fat does not cause heart disease, but sugar, starch and vegetable oil refining. "
Naughton's plan was simple: save energy 2000 calories a day during the meal only fast food (and a few "Carb options" snack bars) but you can't just cut calories to lose weight. You need to have the correct types of food and the right proportion. And it was also necessary to take into account your hormones, particularly insulin. When insulin levels up, you are more likely to store fat rather than burning calories from food. And that increases the level of insulin? Consumption of carbohydrates and sugar. Therefore, Naughton decided that it would reduce the calories and carbohydrates, ingesting 100 grams of carbohydrates per day.
While Morgan Spurlock's got 25 pounds in his diet fast food for 30 days, Tom Naughton had lost 12 pounds in just 28 days. His BMI, dropped from 31.2 to 28.2 and cholesterol have also improved. And that number is even more impressive when you hear, what percentage of calories from saturated fat: a whopping 54%.
But not as bad as we prepared to believe saturated fat. Mother nature is not stupid. We prefer fatty foods, because our bodies crave these foods because we have evolved into eating animal fat over millions of years. Diets of our ancestors were mainly based on meat, with some fruit and vegetables, and very few carbs ... and they didn't have a lot of heart disease. It wasn't until the advent of agriculture, wheat and corn became a big part of our diet, and it wasn't until a few decades ago (when we started eating processed vegetable oils) increased rates of heart disease.
According to the lipid hypothesis "saturated fat increases cholesterol and cholesterol cause heart disease." But this hypothesis was based on a skewed, outdated research. According to doctors, interviewed for "Fathead" lipid hypothesis "bogus". Medical studies have shown that diets high in fat causes heart disease. In fact, several major medical studies have proven that high-fat diets do not have the rates of heart attack.
Eat a diet rich in saturated fats have been shown to reduce blood cholesterol. And it's no cholesterol which causes Szabo in your heart valves. Inflammation does. The inflammation of the heart can be accumulated cholesterol as part of the healing process, but the root of heart disease, inflammation. And if you want to increase your HDL (good cholesterol), you need to eat more saturated fat. Bad cholesterol (small LDL) increases by sugar and carbohydrates.
Stress, high levels of insulin and smoking causes heart disease. They also cause elevated levels of cholesterol, which is why people thought to have cholesterol cause heart disease, when in fact it is just a SYMPTOM of heart disease.
Processed vegetable oils and transfats are rich in omega-6 fatty acids. And while your body needs a bit of these fatty acids, too much tighter cellular membranes and cause inflammation. You better eat potatoes in beef fat or duck fat than French fries in vegetable oil.
So in summation, this is Tom's tips for weight loss and your heart healthy:
1. Restrict your calories that fit your size and activity level.
2. Only a natural fats, transfats or processed vegetable oils (Cook food in oil or coconut oil)
3. limit your carb intake to 100 grams a day (not 300 grams per day, proposed by the FDA)
4. get about 50% of your calories from saturated fat
5. avoid products with a high glycemic index (note that most unsweetened cereals still glycemic index rating higher than granulated sugar)
Follow these tips and you are likely to see the same success as that.
