3267: Why High Fat Diets Can Be Harmful If You’re Trying to Lose Weight

WW: Why High Fat Diets Can Be Harmful If You’re Trying to Lose Weight

Low-carb diets can be effective for weight loss, but when done incorrectly, they may cause more harm than good…

As we begin a new year, many people are setting weight-loss goals, and I want to help you achieve those goals in a healthy, sustainable way.

The challenge with extreme low-carb diets—focusing solely on high-fat, high-protein, and minimal carbs—is that they can have long-term negative effects on your health.

So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3267 as I explain why high-fat diets can be harmful when it comes to weight loss and share what you can do instead. Enjoy the show, and I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. What Does the Research Show

Research has shown that these types of diets may increase the risk of inflammatory issues down the line. That’s why it’s essential to approach weight loss with a balanced plan that supports your overall well-being.

2. How Low Carb Can Be Harmful

Studies have shown that consuming high-fat meals can lead to an increase in lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in the bloodstream. Lipopolysaccharides are components of the outer membrane of certain bacteria, and when higher levels are introduced into the bloodstream, they can trigger inflammation.

3. What to Do Instead

If you’re planning to follow a low-carb diet, focus on incorporating plenty of vegetables, using healthy fats, and gradually reintroducing low-glycemic carbs. It’s also essential to work on improving blood sugar sensitivity and carbohydrate tolerance during this time. For best results, keep your low-carb diet short—around 3 to 6 weeks—and then begin adding low-glycemic carbs.
