When thinking of easy ways to eat healthy and/or how to lose weight fast, many people mistakenly believe eating fat-free foods is going to help them. However, this is a potentially dangerous myth. Removing most or all the fats from your diet in order to lose weight simply doesn't work. In fact, eating fat-free foods may actually cause you to gain weight. As well, these foods turn out to be rather unhealthy. Let's debunk this myth and look at the reasons why eating fat-free foods isn't a very good idea for weight loss, or at all.
Fact: Foods that are low-fat or fat-free have just as many - if not more - calories than regular foods. As well, these so-called "healthy" foods often contain artificial ingredients and additional chemicals, along with extra salt and sugar, to enhance their flavors. The manufacturers of these foods add these to make their products as "tasty," as their fat-filled counterparts. The uneducated consumers who think they will lose weight because they are eating these fat-free foods are not only consuming more calories, but also filling their bodies with extremely unhealthy ingredients.

Solution: Achieve successful, healthy weight loss through a balanced diet with real foods. FIT Medical Weight Loss recommends a low-carb diet plan with plenty of protein, along with some fruits and vegetables. This type of diet allows you to enjoy a variety of foods and still eat some fats! The balanced, low-carb diet allows you to enjoy foods which provide natural sources of fats such as those found in avocados, olive oil, eggs, lean meats, poultry, seafood, and nuts.
Whether you are dieting to lose weight or not, you should take time to read and understand the food nutrition labels on every product you buy. This is the best way to know you're making healthy food choices by eating more of the "good" fats, which benefit your body and heart health, rather than the "bad" ones, such as saturated and trans fats.
Wouldn't you agree that healthy and tasty real food sounds much better than fake, fat-free food?
