Your body was made to function on a certain diet and that doesn’t change just ’cause you gained weight or lost it. The same foods that make you feel full and stop eating for hours at a time also make you put on weight. This is because carbohydrates from sugar-dense foods like sugar, white flour, and white rice are absorbed rapidly followed by fats from these foods.
When your body doesn’t have enough access to carbohydrate stores to meet its daily fuel needs, it forces the body to store fat as a source of energy. This is known as fatty acid storage disease (FASD). A high-fat diet may increase the risk of heart disease, some cancers, diabetes, and obesity by impairing the body's ability to burn fat.
What Is Fatty Acid Storage Disease?
Fatty acid storage diseases (FASD) are conditions that affect how your body metabolizes and uses specific fatty acids. Some of these conditions can be inherited and some can be acquired. Depending on your specific FASD, you may or may not be able to consume certain fatty acid-rich foods. Otherwise, you can simply avoid these foods to improve your health.
The main danger of a high-fat diet is that it can make your metabolism slow down, which can make you gain weight. This is because your body has less energy to deal with everyday stresses and it may also produce less growth hormone to promote muscle growth.
Additionally, a diet with a high amount of fat has been proven to increase the risk of developing various conditions like:
type 2 diabetes
abnormal liver function
abnormal bowel function
abnormal heart function
abnormal blood pressure
abnormal skin texture
abnormal eye color
increased risk of certain cancers
increased risk of developing early aging

Obesity is a gravest threat to your health because it is a leading cause of preventable diseases like metabolic diseases, heart disease and cancer. A high-fat diet can lead to obesity by several means. First, by promoting inflammation, which will make your body’s fat even more accessible for breakdown. Also, by keeping your metabolic rate low, you’re Sets to stay fat.
Here are some diet tips for weight loss, especially for people on a budget!
Don’t Spend a fortune on Weight Loss Products. While expensive products might result in weight loss, they are probably not the best for you. Spend a little money on quality products that will help you get the most out of your diet.
Consume a variety of foods. While you don’t need to consume two different types of food to gain weight, it’s better to get a balance between monosaturated and saturated fats, proteins and carbohydrates while retaining a healthy body weight.
Avoid Overthinking It. If you feel like you’re never going to lose weight, consider the fact that you’re only doing yourself a small favor by keeping yourself accountable.
Exercise. It doesn’t matter how fit you are if you don’t feel like you’re putting out enough effort, you won’t lose weight.
Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help. While everyone has the right to determine their own health and weight, sometimes you just need someone to listen.
Don’t Be Too Hard on Yourself. You’re Not a Bad Person for Failing When It Comes to Dieting. You just have to do better the second time around!
Find a Partner. Finding a support system that you can lean on while losing weight can make all the difference in your weight loss journey.
