Adding more fat to your diet won’t help you with your fat loss results unless your follow two key principles.
Firstly, any increase in fat intake must still fall within your calorie-specific eating plan.
Secondly, the type of fats you choose to increase is all-important, they must promote a fat metabolizing effect. In particular, they should have a stimulating effect on uncoupling proteins.
Uncoupling proteins are found within the mitochondria in cells. The mitochondria is the main site of energy production. Uncoupling proteins are thought to enable the release of energy (calories) as heat during the energy generation process within the mitochondria. This energy release is at the expense of fat. Activating the uncoupling proteins stimulates the fat burning process.
The fats known to stimulate the action of uncoupling proteins in human cells are olive oil and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Additionally, the omega-3 essential fats EPA and DHA are known to improve insulin metabolism, thereby promoting better fat metabolism via the insulin efficiency increase.
So, to ensure better fat loss from your calorie-specific diet, increase your fat intake by way of increasing your consumption of olive oil and supplementing with CLA 1000.
