Nothing Bad with Your Fat Body?

September 5, 2009

Are you still thinking that all fat is bad? Everyone has fat on their body, however there is a certain amount of safe fat, and then there is excess fat.  You need a certain percentage of fat to be healthy.  One thing that you should know though, is that over 100 million Americans alone have “too much” fat.  This is because they are eating the naughty fats, not the good ones.

Having some fat in your diet is good, and ideally you want to make those fats good fats.  Eating a bag of chips is not a good way to get your fat.  Not only are you putting the wrong type of fat in your body, they are very bad for you!

Fat does weigh less than muscle, but the bad thing about fat is that it doesn’t help burn calories, whereas muscle does.  Therefore, you are better off weighing more by having more muscles, not fat, as your metabolism will burn much more calories in the long run if you have a higher muscle mass.

So, having the right type of fat in your diet is OK, but having over a certain amount of fat on your body can be unhealthy.  Fat is stored when you burn less calories than you take in, so the goal is to burn more calories than you eat everyday.
