If you have been following my writing for awhile, this will probably not come as a surprise. But here it is:
Low fat diets do not work
That is not just my opinion, this study shows that low fat diets have "been a complete failure tackling obesity". So what do they recommend instead?
Here are some guidelines from the study:
-Focus on portion sizes
-Rather than avoiding carbs and fats, avoid processed foods
-Don't fear all fats, there are healthy fats you should make a part of your every day nutrition
I really like their advice. Any time you get back to eating foods in their natural state you are on the right path.
This is also good advice for Thanksgiving. Rather than limiting yourself with your favorite foods, eat them in moderation (or at least semi-moderation).
Choose more of the homemade items over the stuff that came out of a box or can.
And I'm pretty sure pecan pie is considered a healthy fat. Let's just all assume it is and not look it up.
PS- a will have a special workout video for you tomorrow to get you ready for Black Friday shopping.
