Everyone’s Talking About: Eating Fat

It started last year with the publication of a few studies looking at whether fat was really bad for our hearts (perhaps not) and what happened if people ate it while losing weight (they got thinner), but 2015 looks like the year that high fat eating hits the mainstream – google have said that searches for the Banting diet by Professor Tim Noakes have doubled during January  while London trainer Zana Morris, the go-to person in London if you want to lose weight quickly and keep it off, has just published her first book The High Fat Diet (Vermilion, £7.99). So, how can it work?

Basically because eating a lot of fat and not many carbohydrates stabilises insulin. This hormone controls fat storage and triggers hunger pangs and sugar cravings that make you crave more food. Stabilise insulin, and you lose weight quite quickly.

Diet high in fat

Eating a diet high in fat and extremely low in carbohydrates, as high fat plans demand also causes your body to burn your fat stores for fuel . However something else happens if you eat this way. Scientists don’t exactly know what this is, but when most of your calories come from fat it seems you can eat more calories and lose more weight than should theoretically be possible.

They call it the metabolic advantage and it’s great if you want to slim quickly. Zana’s clients lose around 10lb in 14 days. See, we at Purition have always told you not to be afraid of eating fat – now, it seems it’s the must do to get thin.
