Cut back on saturated fats especially transfats and hydrogenated oils.

Saturated fats is stable form of natural fats ( No double bond ) found in animal food and vegetarian coconut oil. It's not equivalent to the arteries clogging Trans fat, oxidized fats and hydrogenated fat found in deep fried food, fast food and etc . Oxidized fats do not come from Saturated fats, there come from the highly heat, air and light sensitive unsaturated fats ( poly and mono ) found in supermarket vegetable based oil used by million of restaurants to fry the food. The point i want to make is YOU CANNOT DEEP FRY a poly/mono unsaturated based oil, doing so will turn the oil oxidized (LIPID HYDROPEROXIDES ) which poses the same damage as hydrogenated fats found in cookies . ( Note : even without frying, the commercial vegetable oil are mostly adulterated and may contain undisclosed amount of LP due to processing)
Heart of darkness - Lipid hydroperoxides - the fats that kill Quote:
Suddenly we are surrounded by a group of food prep workers. We expect them to take us to the grill where they cook the hamburgers. Instead, they grab us and carry us to the Deep Fryer. It looks like hell in there. It's the end of the river all right, but the source of lipid hydroperoxides isn't the grilled hamburgers, it's the French fries cooked in reused vegetable oil.
In a flash, this reporter realizes that, whether country cut or curly, the fast food French fry is mankind's mortal enemy--one that will only become more insidious as its relative the trans fat is banned. In one super-sized serving there is enough lipid hydroperoxide to bring a grown man to his knees, lips moving in soundless desperation. |

Carbohydrate restriction improves metabolism. More evidence that Carbs are inferior to healthy natural fats when it comes to metabolism .
Nutrition & Metabolism | Full text | Carbohydrate restriction improves the features of Metabolic Syndrome. Metabolic Syndrome may be defined by the response to carbohydrate restriction Quote:
|
Five symptoms common to most definitions of MetS (Metabolic Syndrome ) are those that are reliably improved by CHO restriction. Carbohydrate restriction is one strategy for weight loss but, in addition, improves glycemic control, insulin levels, TAG and HDL levels even in the absence of weight loss. We suggest that response to CHO restriction may, in fact, be an operational definition of MetS. Its underlying basis would rest on the idea that the features of MetS are associated with a disruption in insulin metabolism which is strongly influenced by dietary CHO. The extent to which this definition is useful may depend on its application by individual practitioners. Experimental studies that follow its lead or conversely disprove its fundamental premise should advance our understanding of obesity, diabetes and CVD. Dismissing CHO restriction without evidence, or expressing "concerns" rather than offering data will probably be less productive.
