Say no to lo-fat and no-fat? Yes!<\/p>\n

\t<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

\"foods_we_need\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For years I have said that the low fat and no fat "alleged" foodstuffs [I have trouble calling it food] were at best no help and worse – bad for you.
\n\t<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

My take is that the rate of obesity has kept pace with the number of low and no fat foods we have in the supermarket.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why do I say the lo and no fats are bad?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

We actually need fat in our diets – and removing it means we eat more of the lo\/no stuff in an attempt to appease our bodies – which know they are lacking something.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But our ego says NO NO NO to all fat because the media has told us it is BAD BAD BAD – and so we ignore our body's message – that is it missing something it needs.\u2028 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Caveat – some lower fat foods are ok – but be sure it is food – not chemicalized "stuff."
\n\t<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We all need a mix of carbohydrates, fat and protein. There is never going to be one type of diet that fits all of us. We come from different types of ethnicity and we need to figure out what works best for us – not those other people. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But whatever it is you eat, it must contain all the food groups\u2028\u2028. Many parents who themselves might be overweight [or afraid of being overweight] feed their children low fat and no fat foods. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Adults need fat in their diet and so do children. It's a human condition and not an adult v. child thing.\u2028\u2028 A growing body needs ALL components – fat, carbohydrates, protein – as well as fruits and veggies…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2028Eat well – it helps you and your kids. <\/p>\n
