![]() | Hii, Raeka. The fats in this program are “good” fats, found in clinical research to support a healthy metabolism. Since limiting carbohydrates and favoring protein has been found to be most beneficial in post-menopausal women, the remaining energy can only come from fat, which is why we give around 35% of energy, which is considered the new standard of a moderately low-fat diet. Note that if you restrict energy too much, it can result in rebound weight gain, and is often not sustainable. Our program results in slower weight gain, but there is a much higher chance that it will stay off and support health better than a relatively restrictive diet. |
