I’m talking about a low-fat diet where the fats make up only 15% of your total calories. With the diet I recommend, fats make up about 70% of your total calories. Why low-fat diets don’t work: Well, there are a lot of things in fat that we need, such as fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids. Fat is also needed to make structural parts of our tissues—including cell membranes. Dangers of an ultra low-fat diet: 1. Decrease in vitamins A, D, E, K 2. Risk of mental problems 3. Increased risk of cancer 4. Decrease in HDL/increase in triglycerides 5. Decreased fat—increased carbs 6. Never satisfied—hungry 7. Low-fat high protein—hard on kidneys Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.
