Diet options that limit trans fat intake
While proper nutrition and dieting do not always go hand in hand, it’s important to know which diets might actually be increasing your trans fat intake through the foods they suggest to eat or manufacture themselves. For instance, the popular Atkins diet has a strong position against trans fats. According to Bantransfats.com
“While Atkins critics have often taken aim at the program’s liberal allowance of fat, particularly in the Induction phase, the Atkins Nutritional Approach includes no heart-damaging trans fats. In fact, on Atkins, trans-fat containing junk foods as well as margarine and vegetable shortening, are strictly avoided….”
The South Beach Diet, similar in nature to Atkins, is also concerned with limiting trans fat intake. However, common sense suggests that these diets may appear anti trans fat only by default, as their elimination of carbohydrates also in turn elimantes many of the foods that comonly contain hydrogenated oils.
One could also choose the Raw Food Diet , which is more a way of life than just a fad diet technique, and does a good job at keeping trans fat intake limited to those found naturally.
As I previously mentioned, dieting does not always equal eating healthy, and eating healthy does not necessarily constitue dieting. If you do decide that you want to diet using any particular method, make sure you choose a balance between nutrition and weight loss. There is no glamour in being a skinny corpse.
