Have you started to notice your waistline growing for the first time in your life? Many people have no problems with their weight until they reach middle age. Keeping fit over 40 can become a real challenge. A great way to start the battle against your weight is limit your fat intake. But what makes fat so bad?
More than twice as high in calories as any other food, fat is the real demon king of the dieting firmament – it always has been and it still is. The quantity of fat you eat is the major dietary determinant of whether you are fat or slim.
This isnt’t a matter of theories or debate, it’s simply and irrefutably a matter of logic and maths:
One gram of carbohydrate or protein is about 4 calories (16 kJ)
One gram of fat is about 9 calories (47.66 kJ)
So you can’t argue with that!
There’s much more information available about the healthy foods contain good fats and which foods to steer clear of in this ‘keeping fit under 40’ kit. The kit is specifically designed for people who, for the first time in their life, are worried about their fitness. Click here to check out the keeping fit under 40 kit.
Keep healthy,
Pete.
