For example, because of diet campaigns, people are now more prone to healthy diets than they were ever before. Many of the popular celebrities and athletes have endorsed several healthy diets as they promise that they are the best way to lose weight.

How and Why We Gain Weight?

If you continue to eat the same kind of food for a long time but do not become more active then you will probably gain weight. As we grow older, our physical activities are limited and the metabolism of our body gets slow. However, the same intake of food affects our weight.

The food we eat to get energy from it is calculated in calories and fats. As a rule of thumb, the more calories and fat you eat, the more actively you have to maintain your weight.

Keeping in view all these facts, diets for losing weight has been in limelight for many decades. Health scientists and health enthusiasts have been always looking for the easiest and simplest ways to maintain their weight. One of them is ‘Ultra- Low Fat Diet’.

What is Ultra- Low Fat Diet?

If you’re deciding to choose Ultra- Low fat diet to maintain or lose weight, you have to restrict the consumption of fat under 10% of daily calories. Ultra- Low Fat Diet is also known as a very low- fat diet that also tends to be low in proteins and high in carbs.

Ultra- Low fat diet is based on a plant-based diet and limits animal products like eggs, dairy products, and meat.

High- Fat Plant Foods are also restricted

In Ultra- Low fat diet, High- Fat plant foods are also restricted, although they are generally perceived as healthy. High- Fat Plant foods are:

  • Nuts
  • Avocados
  • Extra virgin olive oil

By eliminating such healthy food from your diet can be problematic. This is the reason that Ultra- Low diet is not recommended by most nutritionists and diet consultants.

Pros of Ultra- Low Fat Diet

As discussed above the criticism of Ultra- Low Fat diet, benefits of this diet are much contested and many studies have shown very few benefits of this diet. In an eight- year trial know as Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) Dietary Modification Trial, it was founded that low fat diet has no effects on breast cancer, chronic heart diseases, colorectal cancer, or weight.

Ultra- Low fat diet also leads to the improvement of two types of diabetes and slow down the progression of multiple sclerosis – a disease that affects your brain, spinal cord, and nervous system.

Cons of Ultra- Fat Diet

Most of the health experts do not recommend because our body needs fat and cutting down of fats leads to long term health problems. Fats help our body in building cell membranes and hormones, as well as help our body in the absorption of fat- soluble vitamins.

Cutting fat from your diet also leads to mental health deficits like depression and Vitamin deficiencies can occur.

Healthy Fats

While some fats are very healthy like Omega- 3 fats from fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts. Other healthy fats are monounsaturated fats that are found in extra virgin olive oil, olives, avocadoes, coconut oil, nuts, and seeds.

Limitations of Cutting Fats

There are some scientific limitations of cutting fats from your diet. According to research, dietary guidelines suggest that healthy adults should limit dietary fat to no more than 20 to 35% of daily calories. By using nutrition facts, you could easily calculate the number of fats you need in your daily diet.

Fats make our food tasty and ultimately the limitation of fat in our diet leads to the lack of variety too. This is why it is hard to stick to the Ultra- Low fat diet.
