Day 3 - Fats

Folks hope you are following your drinking habits “Water”. (check out day2)

In this topic we will cover fat, its types, are all fats bad? and how can you avoid them.

How many nutrients do you know? Might be many. But do you know fat is one of them. Yeah you read it correctly fat is a nutrient. A normal body needs it and without it we cannot live. It supplies us energy and in parallel help other nutrients too in our body.

Before moving forward I want to educate my audience about the types of fats present.

        1.              Saturated fats

        2.              Monounsaturated fats

        3.              Polyunsaturated fats                                                                             

        4.              Trans fat

Out of these Saturated fats is the culprit. A large intake of this can raise cholesterol levels. It’s mainly found in cakes, biscuits, meat, meat products etc. However, the other types of fat are not as bad as saturated fat.

I would also like to tell you what to keep in mind to lose fat. From my personal experience there are just 3 things that you have to follow to keep your fat levels in your control.

1.       Amount of calories you consume daily.

2.       Amount of cardio exercises you are doing.

3.       Weight training.

Some of my readers will find it difficult to understand the above mentioned. But don’t worry in my next post I will talk about all of these in detail. Till then keep a check how much calories you are consuming daily. Maintain a diary jot down in brief about what you ate and how much on daily basis. We will discuss it in next post.
