PCOS Blog: Saying No to Low-Fat FoodsApril 17, 2010An April 2009 study from the Harvard School of Public Health confirmed that low-fat foods are unhealthy and actually increase obesity rates. Since, I started all of my research in becoming healthy and reversing my PCOS, nutrition has played an enormous role in restoring my health. Often I consider, how Americans have become more overweight and continue to. It's obvious that some of the blame is associated with our lifestyle choices, many people are less active. Regardless, low-fat foods are contributing to making Americans more obese. Low-fat foods are packed with high fructose corn syrup, which adds more grams of sugar to food. Sugar and preservatives are factors that increase the number of people that are overweight. Again, like I've always claimed fat doesn't make people fat. Rather the opposite, if your diet is full of foods that hold no nutritional value, but rather high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oil, and many others; that can quickly add on the pounds. By feeding your body all that junk it inhibits it's ability to function properly. This is a follow-up to my earlier post on the importance of eating organic. I can not stress to you enough the importance of clean, healthy eating if you continue to eat food that isn't healthy, but filled with junk. You'll continue to feel it. It's like they always say, we are what we eat. It's Saturday the perfect day to start cleaning out the cupboards; get rid of the unhealthy food. You'll want to thank yourself for it later! Eliminating all the additives and preservatives by replacing it with whole, healthy food is one of the most important things I did for my health.
