Will Fat In Food Really Make You Fat?

It depends!

If your diet is laden with saturated fat, YES! And you can be sure in no time your clothes will no longer fit and you’ll be more prone to diseases and/or illnesses.

If your food is healthy, and you are careful with the kind of fat you include in your diet AND the also mindful of the fat content of your diet (less is more/less is better), then the answer is no, you’ll not end up fat and ugly.

It is therefore very important that you are careful with your diet and you choose the “healthy” fats – those fats that are essential for good health. The healthy fats include unsaturated fats found in foods like salmon (Omega 3), nuts, and even olive oil. These fats are key components in a healthy diet, and they have important roles to play to keep the body function effectively and efficiently.

Will Eating Bread Make You Fat?

The answer is “yes” and “no”! But it’s more on the type of bread – not bread by itself.

Yes, you’ll get fat if you keep on eating white bread, or bread made from enriched flour.

If you eat whole wheat bread, or bread made from true whole grains, you’ll be a lot healthier. This is because the fiber from whole grain such as wheat helps in digestion. Because of its fiber content, bread made from wheat and/or whole grains also makes you feel full longer.

Lose Weight: Eat Your Dinner 3 Hours Before Bedtime!

According to fitness and health experts, eating your dinner 3 hours before bedtime help people lose weight effectively. Think of it this way, if you eat 3 hours before bedtime, this will give your stomach enough time to digest everything.

However, if you ate dinner at 6 pm but won’t go to bed until 12 midnight, then have a small 9 pm meal or a snack. Keep it light though, preferably lean protein, fruits, and or vegetables only.
