REVEALED: The TRUTH about fat and sugar



A low-fat diet could lead to weight gain rather than the opposite, according to health experts



A LOW-FAT DIET could lead to weight gain rather than the opposite, according to health experts.

 

For years, diets have dictated that fat is the enemy. 

Subsequently, foods like cheese, whole milk and nuts are often feared and avoided. 

 

But the prevailing medical and dietary advice may be failing us, according to health experts.

A cardiologist has revealed that low-fat foods have instead been doing ‘untold damage’.

Dr Aseem Malhorta believes we need to 'let fat be our medicine.'

Writing for Men’s Health, the medical professional says dietary advice to restrict fat back in the 1970s may have even helped to fuel the obesity epidemic unfolding today. 

He makes a point of telling his patients to avoid ‘low fat’ labels.

Dr Aseem said: “Better instead, I tell (my patients) to embrace full fat dairy and other saturated fats within the context of a healthy eating plan.

 



Dr Aseem says to eat more fat, and less sugar to help your heart



“It’s an instruction that is sometimes greeted with open-mouthed astonishment.” 

The cardiologist also tells his patients to ‘steer clear of anything that promise to reduce cholesterol.’

Dr Aseem’s revelation came after reading a paper called ‘The toxic truth about Sugar’ which he describes as an ‘eye-opener’.

He said: “The more i looked into, the more it became abundantly clear to me that it was sugar, not fat, which was causing so many of our problems.”

Dr Aseem’s research revealed that it is refined carbohydrates that are responsible for heart disease, diabetes, cancer and obesity. 

He said: “Obesity is not about how many calories we eat, but what we eat. 

“Refined carbohydrates fuel the overproduction of insulin, which in turn promotes fat storage. In other words: it’s not calories from that themselves that are the problem.” 

The doctor concludes: “The father of modern medicine Hippocrates once said, ‘let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food’. It’s now time we let 'fat' be that medicine.”
