“If things look bad and you look closer, sometimes you find out things are even worse”.

Nearly all of my “Lose Weight Permanently” clients dislike their belly fat. The main reason is: It doesn’t really look good. Or more precisely: Belly fat makes people unattractive. For many, the stomach and the jiggly fat around it is their least favourite body part.

And there are health issues as well. Visible body fat is a sign of being overweight, or even obese, a sign of increased risk for many diseases. But the real risk lingers deeper…

The fat you can see is called the subcutaneous fat. It’s basically the fat under your skin, the fat on your belly. And there is the visceral fat. That’s the fat in your belly, providing a cushion for the inner organs. Too much of that is really dangerous.

It can increase your risk for heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. So, although it cannot be seen, too much of it is a hidden danger to you health.

Spanish researchers published a study in the journal “Diabetes Care” and compared three diets: one high in saturated fat, another high in carbs, and a third rich in what is called “monounsaturated fats”. These fats are in olive oil, avocados, nuts and seeds or in dark chocolate. Only the diet high in “monounsaturated fats” helped to lower the level of fat in the body.

That’s another finding supporting the need for healthy nutrition. If you really want to lose weight permanently, you need to eat healthy. Just remember these sources of “monounsaturated fats”:

• olive oil (73 per cent)
• rapeseed oil (60 per cent)
• hazelnuts (50 per cent)
• almonds (35 per cent)
• Brazil nuts (26 per cent)
• cashews (28 per cent)
• avocado (12 per cent)
• sesame seeds (20 per cent)
• pumpkin seeds (16 per cent
