let’s talk about the dangers of ultra

low fat diets I’m talking about a diet

that the fats make up only 15% of your

total calories the diet that I recommend

has fat making up about 70% of your

total calories now why is that because

there’s a lot of things in fat that we

need fat soluble vitamins essential

fatty acids fats are needed to make

structural parts of our tissue including

all the cell membranes and that’s why

they call certain fats essential fatty

acids because fats that you need that

you have to get from the diet your body

can’t make them all right number one

you’re gonna get a decrease in the fat

side with vitamins vitamin A D E in K

and the consequences of these

deficiencies are very vast vitamin A

immune system vision at night vitamin D

immune system keeping viruses in check

keeping your inflammation down helping

calcium be absorbed vitamin E essential

for the heart and if our hormone health

vitamin K help you stop bleeding also

vitamin k2 to transport calcium out of

the soft tissues alright number two risk

of mental problems your brain is mostly

made out of fat your nerves are

insulated with a fat lining so if we

don’t have the structural components for

the brain of the nerves your mood

suffers and your cognitive function

suffers greatly alright number three

increased risk of cancer because you’re

not going to have the essential fatty

acids to help your immune system all

right next thing is decrease in HDL

that’s the so-called good cholesterol

that usually goes down with an increase

in triglycerides number five when you

decrease dietary fat a person will

automatically increase carbohydrates not

a good combination

and by the way Americans have already

tried the low fat high carb diet for

years and we know it just does not work

alright number six you’re never going to

be satisfied you’re always going to be

hungry not a good combination if you

want to stick to any type of healthy

eating plan

alright number seven if you actually

lower your fat and raise your protein

it’s really hard on the liver and the

kidney and it will also increase the

spike of insulin so you always want to

consume the normal fat that comes along

with the protein and not do lean protein

or low fat protein all right guys thanks
