Weight loss requires a reduction in fat intake (fat in foods contains 9 calories per gram) and an overall reduction in the number calories consumed on a daily basis. Proteins and carbohydrates only contain around 4 calories per gram, making Fats 'twice as fattening'
However, not all food fats are bad fats :
Most fats found in foods are required by the body in varying amounts in order to carry our various important functions and to help maintain optimum health. Various vegetable oils are well known for their health benefits e.g. omega 3, omega 6 and olive oil. The well known 'Mediterranean Diet' which promotes the intake of fresh vegetables, fruits, plenty of fish (great source of essential and beneficial oils) and moderate use of Virgin Olive Oil is advocated my most health professional.
However, the consumption of saturated fats found in animal meats should be monitored and not be consumed in great amounts as these fats can cause health problems over time.
FATSorber contains a unique fibre called Chitosan. Chitosan is a fibre-like absorbent substance which is extracted from marine shells, such as those of crabs and shrimps. It is processed by removing the shells from shellfish such as shrimp, lobster, and crabs. The shells are then ground into a pulverous powder.
