From carbohydrate you will have ----- Fat. How? Your body uses the carbohydrate as your "fuel". If you take more carbohydrate than you use, your body will make fat from it and keep it in your adipose tissue. And that's why we don't eat any white bread or pasta, pastries, cakes and soft drinks and sugary things..hmm???
Still - your body need fats... But it does matter what kind of fats you eat, so let's see.
What are the "good fats"?
Fat is considered as a "good fat" and can contribute most to our health and slimming if it's:
1. cold-pressed
2. contains the larger proportion of polyunsaturated fats
3. contain larger quantities of essential fatty acids
There are polyunsaturated fatty acids, which the body can not produce itself, but are vital for the operation of your body, in other words, they are - essential. Therefore your fat intake should be based on essential fats. The two most important polyunsaturated fats are Omega3 and Omega6.
What contains Omega3?
fish oil
hempseed oil
linseed
linseed oil
marine oils
What contains Omega6?
borage oil
evening primrose oil
sunflower oil
sesame
sesame oil
soya oil
grapeseed oil
pumpkin seed
Other "good fats" are the monounsaturated fats, like:
avocado
avocado oil
nuts
almond oil
olive oil
rapeseed oil
20-40% of your daily caloric intake should be polyunsaturated fats, it means 60-90g daily.
The optimal ratio of Omega3 and Omega6 intake is 3:1, 4:1, so you should take 3-4 times more Omega3 than Omega6.
Fat is also important because there are some fat-soluble vitamins:
- Vitamin-A
- Vitamin-D
- Vitamin-E
- Vitamin-F
- Vitamin-K
