So you might want to think twice before going on a low fat diet, okay?

I did some extensive research on research regarding low fat diets, and I put all of the links down below, so you can check it out.

Look at this.

In over 65 studies, and I'm talking meta-analysis randomized control trials showed that the low fat group had less weight loss and more blood lipids, so their cholesterol went up.

Now that's interesting. Why would the cholesterol go up? Because your body makes over 75% of the cholesterol that you have in your body, and so if you eat less, it makes more.

There's another study with over 28 overweight women, which showed a significantly lowered metabolic rate.

And there's two other studies that I listed in this group. One was lower satiety, and the other one showed overeating.

Well, that makes sense because if you're going to lower your fat in your diet, you're going to be hungry a lot more, and you're going to eat more.

Now, as far as hormone effects with low fat diets, there's one study with 33 women showed significantly lowered estrogen and testosterone.

Another study was 16 patients with cystic breast, significant reduction in all three types of estrogen.

And then a study with 43 men showed significant decrease in testosterone.

Why is this? Because all of the sex hormones, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, even cortisol, are all made with cholesterol and fat.

That's the raw material. You cut that out and you starve off those hormones.

Let's look at insulin resistance. There was a study of 132 obese adults.

In the low fat group, there was worsened insulin resistance and higher cholesterol.

And that's because if you have insulin resistance, you have more insulin, and that actually can convert and make more cholesterol.

In the study of 34 Korean adults, the low fat group showed more metabolic syndrome and diabetes.

And in another study that I quoted down below, if you compare a low carb diet to a low fat,

the low carb diet did much better with improving insulin resistance than the low fat diet did.

Now we get into the topic of mortality, death rate.

There was actually a study with 11,000 Japanese men and a little over 74,000 women showed increased mortality by being on a low fat diet.

Shortened lifespan.
