Eat MORE; protect your heart; AND lose fat too….
A local preventive medicine professional mailed me this study.
I wanted you to see it also.
It’s been known for a while that normal weight (skinny) people who are very sedentary are LESS healthy than people who are somewhat fat or even fatter but who exercise regularly.
That’s very good news since it means that someone who begins to eat right & exercise regularly as lifestyle changes to lose excess fat & keep it off can sharply improve their health in just a few weeks or sooner even though it may take several months to lose all the fat they’d like.
But this new study has even better news.:
The Journal of Preventive Medicine recently published a study of 9800 people over a 17 year time period.
They compared how many calories a day people ate & how much exercise they got & whether or not the people were too fat – AND, their risk of dying from heart disease.
The results startled even me.
The people who exercised the most had a much higher risk of dying from heart disease or heart attacks than the people who exercised least.
That part is not too surprising.
The people who exercised the most also ate more calories than the people who were too fat.
AND the people who exercised the most were less fat than most of the people who exercised least. They also ate considerably MORE calories.
If you have ever wanted to be less fat without eating less, think about that. <<<
The people who exercised the most also had a much lower rate of death from heart disease than the people who exercised least.
And, they even had a lower rate of death from heart disease than the people who were of normal weight who didn’t exercise. And, the exercisers at a lot more calories.
It does help in fat loss to eat a LOT less or NONE of packaged food, snacks, junk food, sugar, refined carbohydrates, baked goods & trans fats.
And, it can also help to eat less butter, cheese, grain fed meat.
But eating some exclusively grass fed meat & some wild caught fish each week; and eating nuts; extra virgin olive oil; & non-starchy vegetables every day are OK.
And, if you’d like to eat MORE of those foods than you are eating now of all foods & still lose fat & protect your health, read this.:
This study suggests that you can eat MORE calories of the foods that are OK to eat than the calories people who are fat & stay fat eat totally– IF you also exercise regularly.
And, you’ll still lose fat; keep it off; & protect your heart.
