Chitosan, low fat and low
calorie diets :
Weight loss and fat burning
requires a reduction in fat
intake (fat in foods contains 9
calories per gram) and an overall reduction in the number calories
consumed on a daily basis.
Proteins
and carbohydrates
only
contain around 4 calories per gram, making Fats
'twice as
fattening'
However, not all food fats
are bad fats :
Most fats found in foods are
required by the body in varying amounts in order to carry our various
important functions and to help maintain optimum health.
Various vegetable oils are well known for their health benefits e.g.
omega 3, omega 6 and olive oil.
The well known 'Mediterranean Diet' which promotes the intake of fresh
vegetables, fruits, plenty of fish (great source of essential and
beneficial oils) and moderate
use of Virgin Olive Oil
is
advocated my most health professional.
However, the consumption of saturated
fats found in animal meats
should be monitored and not be consumed
in great amounts as these fats can cause health problems over time.
Fat Blocker contains a unique
fibre called Chitosan.
Chitosan is a fibre-like absorbent substance which is extracted from
marine shells, such as those of crabs and shrimps.
It is processed by removing the shells from shellfish such as shrimp,
lobster, and crabs. The shells are then ground into a pulverous powder.
