Yesterday, I covered about whether we should include Fat in our weight loss diet plan. Today, we’ll talk about oil consumption when we are making an effort towards losing weight.
Cooking Oil
The one oil that is ideal for high temperature cooking (and among the healthiest oils you can consume) is raw, organic, unrefined coconut oil. Coconut oil has been proven to be among the healthiest oils available for the human body and boosts the body’s metabolic rate (helping in weight loss).
The Best Oils are Raw Oils
Olive oil and flax seed oil are two wonderful oils to use for salad dressing or on cooked or raw veggies. These oils have a lower melting point and are more stable (and healthier) when kept raw.
What are the methods to make use of healthy oils?
-Cook with Organic, Unrefined Coconut Oil.
-Use Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Flaxseed oil raw for salads and veggies. Also include avocados as a healthy source of fat into your weight management diets.
Oils to avoid
Many people seem to think that vegetable oil is healthy and good for us. I’m going to sound insane, but vegetable oil isn’t the healthy or “weight loss friendly” choice. Most commercial vegetable oil is simple heavily refined soybean or sometimes safflower, corn, cottonseed oil.
The problem with those different types of vegetable oils is due the reason that they are mostly composed of polyunsaturated fats.
I hope this article will help you gain a better understanding of oil in our daily diet. It would be great if by choosing the healthy oil in our daily diet can help us lose weight but most importantly, we do not wish to put on more weight just because we choose the wrong oil for cooking or as food dressing.
