Full Fat Or No Fat Food Choices

Full Fat Or No Fat Products

When working towards a weight loss goal making food choices can be challenging. Food products are often promoted for weight loss with low calories advertised on the product, 0 fat and tagged with words such as ‘slimming’. It is often hard to identify what is really going to benefit your weight loss journey and what is simply marketing of certain ‘weight loss’ products.

At FitFarms we promote a balanced and organic diet, focusing on a lifestyle benefiting your health as well as losing fat. Our lifestyle workshops at FitFarms Hollywood focus on making real choices within your day to day life and guiding you with nutrition information and tools that you can then individually apply within your schedule and everyday choices.

Making diet choices is a mind field in the current world of weight loss. With so many different opinions on different diets and food products, it is easy to become overwhelmed and confused when making diet changes. Products that often show the quickest weight loss results, promoted heavily in supermarkets and online, are more often than not bad for your health and not a sustainable choice when focusing on a long term weight loss and lifestyle change.

The Mystery Behind Fat Products

So, when choosing between full fat and no fat ingredients, what is the better choice? Firstly, fat is needed in our diet. Whether your focusing on losing fat or not, fat is an essential factor to your diet when aiming to achieve a balanced lifestyle. Non processed fats help break down digestion, prevents spikes in blood sugar levels and maintain energy levels. Including every food group within each meal is key if you’re looking for a long term, maintainable and healthy weight loss.

Non-fat products can often be misleading about the contents of what is being sold. With full fat and no fat being sold side by side it often implies you’re going for the healthier choice, however these products usually contain added sugars, processed and artificial ingredients. These often have a negative impact on our health and can lead to more serious health issues and weight gain over time. Having products with substitutes to fat will end up having a opposite effect on your weight loss journey.

So, what should you go for instead?

Full fat products, fresh ingredients and non-processed foods are key for prioritising not only your weight loss but also your health. Leaving you with a more sustainable solution to dieting and not restricting your body of the nutrients you need. Avoiding additives and ingredients you can’t keep in your cupboard will further enhance your health, energy levels and lifestyle alongside your weight loss journey.
