Avoid Fast and Fatty Foods as you Lose Weight

Losing weight can improve your health in many different ways, but there are some aspects of your medical weight loss diet that can be especially helpful in reducing your risk of certain diseases. According to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, cutting down on the amount of deep-fried foods you consume can reduce your risk of developing prostate cancer, the number one cause of cancer-related deaths among men over the age of 75.

Eating a diet rich in fat is a leading risk factor for developing prostate cancer, but now researchers have found that this risk is intensified when those fats are deep-fried. This means many of the most common items found on fast-food restaurant menus are especially troublesome.

This includes items like:

  • French fries
  • Fried chicken
  • Bacon
  • Potato chips
  • Pizza
  • Cheese

These items, as well as classic desserts like cake and cookies, are high in saturated and/or trans fats. These are bad fats that may have negative consequences on your health. As you avoid these fats, try to add healthy sources of mono and poly-unsaturated fats to your diet. You can find these healthy fats in nuts, fish and avocado.

Fatty Foods and Health Concerns

As you lose weight it may help to fully understand all of the health consequences that come with eating a diet rich in fatty and fried foods. Aside from prostate cancer, fried and fatty foods can cause you to gain weight; ultimately increasing your risk for certain obesity related diseases, like:

  • Type-2 diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • Hypertension
  • Migraine headaches
  • Joint pain
  • High cholesterol
  • Stroke
  • Sleep Apnea

Following a medical weight loss diet will reduce the amount of trans and saturated fats that you eat, helping you to reduce your risk and even reverse the onset of several of these conditions. Pay attention to sources of fatty foods and do your best to keep them out of your diet as much as possible. This is a good way to improve your weight loss efforts, as well as boost your health.
