Two Ways to Fit Into Your Skinny Jeans

Two Ways to Fit Into Your Skinny Jeans
Research keeps evolving to show us just how certain
nutrients play very important roles in the body. There are
people that promote fat for weight loss and those that fear
and shun fat for weight loss. If you want to fit into your
"skinny jeans" then I suggest you don't fear fat.

I am here to tell you that there are certain fats that
actually help with weight loss. This doesn't mean you
should be eating a high fat diet. It is does mean that you
shouldn't fear fat if you are trying to lose weight. If
you do you could be slowing down your weight loss progress.

The first fat that you should incorporate into your diet is
Coconut oil. Most of the fats you eat circulate around in
the body until you body absorbs them and stores them as fat
or maybe uses some it for energy.

Coconut oil behaves differently in the body. Coconut oil
is a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) that is very common in
foods. Instead of circulating around the blood stream like
other fats MCTs go into the liver where they are utilized
for energy. Your body also requires more calories to
digest MCTs, which is a good thing because your goal is to
burn as many calories as possible.

Some ways to use Coconut Oil is to put it on breads instead
of using butter. You could sauté with it or melt it
on veggies for flavoring. It is a saturated fat though so
don't over consume this fat or you might see your
triglyceride and cholesterol levels rise.

The other fat that can help you get into those skinny jeans
is Nut Butter which is an unsaturated fat. Some research
is showing that those who eat nut butters often time weigh
less than those who avoid it. Nut butter contains protein,
fat and fiber which researchers believe helps keep you full
so overall you eat less food.

This is why health professionals also promote nuts such as
almonds because they provide protein, healthy unsaturated
fats, and fiber. They help fill you up and make a great
snack on the go. I highly recommend keeping some natural
unroasted almonds on hand at all times.

Anyways back to Nut Butter.

You can use Nut Butter in a variety of ways. Of course you
can use it as a spread on breads or as a dipping sauce.
You could flavor noodles or vegetables with it as well.
Look for natural versions of Nut Butter so that you aren't
consuming added oils or hydrogenated fats.

I suggest you give these unique fats a try with your meals
and not only add some variety to your meals, but get you
closer to fitting into those skinny jeans.
