The Importance of Fat #TheStubbornFatFix

Fat is quite healthy for you, as long as you eat the right types of fat in the right balance. Some fatty acids are essential to life; your body cannot make them. They improve digestion and help us digest vitamins A, D, E, and K, and many fat-soluble minerals and antioxidants.

Not Soy Good #TheStubbornFatFix

We’re eating more soy than ever. This is not so good. In young girls, too much soy can trigger early puberty, causing fertility and hormonal problems later in life. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), early puberty can be seen in girls as young as 6. In grown women, too much estrogen causes breast tenderness, decreased sex drive, increased fat storage, fatigue, foggy thinking, and PMS. It may also raise the risk for estrogen-dependent cancers, such as breast, endometrial, and ovarian cancers. In men, it can cause breast tissue growth, prostate enlargement, weight gain, bloating, mood swings, irritability, headaches, fatigue, depression, and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). It can also lead to prostate, great, endometrial, and testicular cancers.

Create serving-size cues #TheStubbornFatFix #DrKeithBerkowitz

Research shows that we tend to eat food more quickly when we see more. In a study at the University of Rhode Island, women who were given a plate of pasta and a big spoon slurped down 646 calories of pasta in 9 minutes. When they were given a small serving of pasta and a small spoon, they took up to 30 minutes to eat and consumed fewer calories. You can use this research to provide yourself with extra control when it comes to the carbohydrate foods you love.
