(REVEALED) The Fat-Burning Power Of Olive Oil (and why I use it every day)

By Kevin DiDonato MS, CES--Level 1 Certified Precision Nutrition and Certified Personal Trainer


Weight loss seekers are constantly on the lookout for the right foods to eat to lose weight.

So what do big FOOD companies do?

They come out with “light," “fat-free,” and “reduced-fat” alternatives--all geared at enticing those looking to lose weight to buy their products.

And, if you’re one of the countless people looking to lose weight, you probably have picked up one (or more) of these products.

But you may have been duped by smooth advertising or deceptive marketing practices.

Why?

You don't need to worry about FAT,  it’s the white stuff – sugar – that is the NUMBER ONE enemy to weight loss.

And fat, well, let’s just say fat has a LOT to do with how your body functions on a day-to-day basis, and is an integral part in the weight-loss process.

Fats, Olive Oil, and Your Weight

You see, big food companies know your fears.  They know that you think if you eat FAT, then you will gain weight.

So what do they do?  They come out with products that are lower in FAT, but higher in sugar and other additives and fillers to bulk up the product.

If you were to compare a fat-free, light, or reduced-fat product label, you may be surprised to find out that the calories may be essentially the same – just LOWER in fat.

But they know that people don’t bother to read the labels – all they see are the words “light," "reduced fat," or "fat free.”

That's when you're hooked to their products.

But, as an educated consumer, you know better…

You know that fat is integral for not only weight loss, but for the health of ALL the cells in your body.

And you also know that too much fat – just like everything else – may lead to weight gain.




Now, the recommendations for fat: 30 percent of your daily caloric intake should be from fat.   Most should come from poly and monounsaturated fats, and a small – but integral amount – should come from saturated fats.

Now, besides fat being integral to weight loss, it is also integral to leaving you feeling full and satisfied.

How?

Studies suggest fat – like the kind found in olive oil – may increase serotonin levels, which is the main satiety hormone in the body.

One study showed that people who ate yogurt infused with olive oil, ate less and felt fuller after consuming the yogurt than the control group – which ended up eating – on average – 176 MORE calories.

And, the control group had lower serotonin levels than the yogurt consuming group.

Another thing that adds to the feeling of hunger, according to studies, is when your body uses the nutrients from food and your blood sugar starts to decline.

When you include fat with your meals, it slows the absorption of sugar from the blood, therefore maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Another study showed that in some olive oil, there are two compounds that may be able to slow the absorption of sugar from the blood, therefore preventing a fast decrease in blood sugar, and the onset of the hunger feeling.

Take Home Message

Don’t be fooled by the labels "low-fat," "reduced fat," or "fat-free."

Most of the time, these products have the same amount of calories – or more – and contain fillers and sugar.  And worst of all, these products may not fill you up, leading you to eat more or something else, leading to an intake of extra calories.

However, including healthy fats, like olive oil, coconut oil, and avocados, for example, may provide your body with healthy fats your body needs for many processes in your body.

And, in the case of olive oil, you may find yourself satisfied after using olive oil than other oils alone.

If you want a healthy fat – besides olive oil - that is both good for you and may provide heart health benefits, then a good high quality omega-3 fatty acids supplement may be for you!
