For decades, the media has been preaching how fats are associated with obesity, cancer, arteriosclerosis, and heart disease.  Back in the late 1980's, the U.S. Surgeon General recommended that Americans decrease their consumption of dietary fats.  Marketing savvy food manufacturers immediately started coming out with everything from fat free ice cream to fat free cheese.  In place of fat, more carbohydrates were added.

With all of the "fat free" marketing, the general public believed that since something was "fat free", they could eat larger portions.  Over the next ten years, Americans became fatter than ever!  Obesity skyrocketed from 12% of the population to over 20% of the population in just 10 years.  Today, research has found that 50% of Americans are overweight and approximately 23% are obese.  With the help of the food industry, the public has developed a "fat phobia" and the importance of including healthy fats in our diets has been neglected.

If your goal is to build a stronger, leaner, more muscular body, dietary fats are necessary to maintain and improve your health, and play an essential role in reaching your fitness goals.

There are two types of fats, saturated fats and unsaturated fats. Unsaturated fats are considered healthy fats, they are usually liquid at room temperature.  Although there are many sources of unsaturated fat, two great sources of healthy unsaturated fat can be found in cold water fish like salmon, trout and halibut, and flax seed oil.

Saturated fats are the unhealthy fats that are associated with a myriad of health problems.  They contain virtually nothing nutritious or good for your body, it's only role is it can be burned as energy.  The fact is, you don't need saturated fats at all, but the typical diet is jam-packed with them.  For health reasons, you want to consume as little saturated fats as possible.  Saturated fats are generally solid at room temperature and can be found in butter, margarine, dairy, cheese, and meats. I am not recommending you become a vegetarian and eliminate meat from your diet, but make sure when you are at the meat counter you select lean cuts.  You do not have to eat meat every day. There are many other good non-animal sources of protein including beans, soy, and tofu.

The truth is, some fats are health promoting and essential to life itself.  I recently read a great book by Dr. Udos Erasmus, one of the world's foremost experts on dietary fats.  I highly recommend you read his best selling book "Fats That Heal, Fat's That Kill."  Dr. Erasmus believes that eating enough healthy fats is just as important to maintaining health as eliminating unhealthy fats.

Chocolate Calories
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

A good piece of chocolate has about 200 calories. As I enjoy 2 servings per night, and a few more on weekends. I consume 3,500 calories of chocolate in a week, which equals one pound of weight per week.

Therefore...

In the last 3 1/2 years, I have had chocolate caloric intake of about 180 pounds, and I only weigh 165 pounds, so without chocolate, I would have wasted away to nothing about 3 months ago!

I owe my life to chocolate.

The aspiring psychiatrists were attending their first class on emotional extremes. "Just to establish some parameters," said the professor to the student from Arkansas, "What is the opposite of joy?"

"Sadness," said the student.

And the opposite of depression?" he asked of the young lady from Oklahoma.

"Elation," she said.

"And you sir," he said to the young man from Texas, "How about the opposite of woe?"

The Texan replied, "Sir, I believe that would be giddy-up."

Drink plenty of water. It is very important to drink water. Your body needs water to prevent dehydration during warm summer days. Take special care to make sure infants and toddlers drink enough water. They can become dehydrated much more easily than adults.

In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association on July 12, 2006—a follow-up to the Nurses’ Health Study, involving over 87,000 women—researchers found that weight gain of 22 pounds or more after menopause increased breast cancer risk by 18 percent; those who lost this much weight or more had a 23 percent reduction in risk; and those who lost 4 to 11 pounds had an average 11 percent reduction in risk.

This link was even stronger in women who had never used HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy to combat the effects of menopause): women who lost 22 pounds or more after menopause and never used HRT were found to be a whopping 57 percent less likely to develop breast cancer!

If you need to lose weight, you must be in caloric deficit. This can be accomplished by cutting down your caloric intake, or increasing the amount of calories you burn by exercising. I recommend both. Even though a calorie is a calorie when it comes to weight loss, a calorie is not a calorie when it comes to your health. Make sure your daily diet includes several servings of fruit and vegetables and whenever possible, avoid foods that contain trans fat.
