Whats The Difference Between Unsaturated And Saturated Fats?
Unsaturated fats are derived from plants and saturated fats, on the other hand, are derived from animal products. In my original Anabolic Diet, and subsequent Metabolic and Radical Diets, and Anabolic Solution books, I’ve made saturated fat, and red meat, an integral part of the diets. Why? Because it made a lot more sense than the studies and advice coming from the medical and scientific community. Even though I’m part of that community. So I don’t blithely accept that the dogmas that are being handed out today apply to everyone. That saturated fat is bad for you. That it increases cholesterol levels, especially LDL, the bad cholesterol, and accelerates coronary artery disease. And that unsaturated fats have the opposite effect. Or that saturated fat will increase fat and weight gain, and make you insulin resistant, to the point of even making you diabetic. Or that the poly and mono unsaturated fats, including the essential fatty acids, will make you skinny and insulin sensitive. Why?
