There is nothing else that we put into our body that gives us as much flack as fat does. It’s always been that way; fats are viewed as the enemy especially if you have problems with your weight as it is. Fat is definitely the macronutrient that people know the least about and still manage to abuse the most, whether they are fat or thin or somewhere in between.
So what do you do? Some people tell you that fat is a good thing, and you do need some but then others are telling you that fat isn’t good at all; fat is the enemy to so many people, but in reality there is such a thing as good as good fat. Certain diets actually regulate the difference between good fats and bad fats and say that up to a certain point having fat in your diet is okay. Which do you believe? It can be rather difficult to tell the difference.
Truth be told, fat is a shrunken down energy pill. It really is just a shrunken source of energy that the body stores, so your body must maintain a certain amount of fats in the body at all times, just to be able to function. There are healthy fats that come from eating good foods like Omega-3, and then there are the bad fats that come in a yellow and white paper bag from the drive thru down the street from your house. To be healthy, avoid too much fat at all good fat, bad fat or otherwise.
There are ways for you to tell how much body fat you have in your body, versus how much muscle you have in your body. When you carry too much body fat around your midsection, you pose a great risk for heart disease, diabetes, and other health complications that can be avoided by staying trim.
Either way, making sure that you have the right fats and the right vitamins and minerals before you actually eat your meal is important. Meal planning software, like Vita Bot, can make easy work of calculating the amount of good fats and other things that you should have in your diet every day.
VitaBot is designed, by a former NASA engineer, to mathematically implement the dietary recommendations of The National Academies of Science, through the Institute of Medicine.
VitaBot lets advanced mathematics "think" for the user, and helps them to easily put foods together, not just to balance calories, but to balance micronutrients as well. VitaBot performs hundreds of thousands of calculations for every set of nutritional suggestions. The equations and the resulting suggestions are designed to allow the nutritional data to speak directly to the user, without personal interpretation.
This approach creates an amazing new way to look at foods. Allowing the data to speak for itself reveals basic truths such as, "Apples for Fiber", or "Almonds for Vitamin E and Omega 6". But by allowing the system to search the full range of nutritional data, without human bias, a wealth of nutritional knowledge is revealed that most of have not been privileged to experience. VitaBot takes this highly advanced technology, and through an extremely straightforward set of user-friendly interfaces, makes it accessible to everyone.
