Most people never question the idea that "you
are what you eat", so it makes sense to them that if they don't want
to be fat, they can't eat fat. Most people don't realize it, but without
consuming fat, your body actually stores fat. It's not only scientific
fact, but it's also plain common sense - you body stores what is in
short supply for as long as it can.
There are three types of fats, and you should
be eating equal proportions of them all. The three types of fats are:
saturated, unsaturated, and monounsaturated; the ideal 30% dietary intake
of fat would then consist of equal parts of each of the above fat types.
The bad fats are those that are cooked at high temperature, or are hydrogenated
oils.
Now that you have a little background on the
principles behind burning fat, here is the daily routine. (You don't
need to eat this every day. Just follow the guidelines and do something
similar.)
