Healthy Food vs Fat Loss Food

November 29th, 2012 by

Statement: A healthy food is not necessarily a fat loss food, but fat loss food is always a healthy food.

True or False?

Sir LBC opinion: False! There is no such thing as a “fat-loss food”.

Also, how is “healthy food” defined here? Single-ingredient, whole foods? Yes, definitely healthy. Yes, you can lose fat eating these, but it has less to do with the “healthy food” being a fat-loss food and

more to do with HOW MUCH of it you eat relative to YOUR body’s requirements. Quality is secondary to quantity in the context of fat loss.

Similarly, you can lose fat eating what would be, under the above definition of healthy food, “unhealthy foods” (whatever that means; sounds like the good food/bad food labeling thing again).

Healthy food is healthy. But there is no such thing as ‘fat-loss foods”. Wait, all food is potentially fat-loss food if you eat the correct amount of it relative to your body’s requirements. Yes … even McDonald’s ice cream cones post-workout.
