We’ve been discussing some ways to shed weight quickly and here is one that I bet you haven’t thought of.In the world of health and fitness, trans fat is known as an archenemy. What is not always understood though is that the trans fats being held in disdain are those that are represented in the dreaded hydrogenated oils, and are also known as industrial trans fats.

Trans fats are feared because of their reputation for elevating bad cholesterol, increasing your risk of heart disease, and contributing to arterial hardening. Since this is what most people understand about trans fats, it’s no wonder that many people will avoid them no matter what, even leading to laws against it being passed in some areas.

In fact, some people are shocked when they learn that trans fats can be naturally occurring. This natural trans fat is the one we’re going to focus on in this article.

Animal fat called Trans Vaccenic Acid (TVA) is an example of natural trans fat that has been found to be effective in reducing heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. It has also been shown to attack metabolic disorders, enabling the body to burn more fat.

You can also find TVA in other products such as organically raised meat and naturally cultured dairy products. Another good trans fat is Conjugated Linoleic Acid or CLA. This can be found in various dietary supplements.

Natural CLA is made from naturally produced meat and dairy products just like TVA, but most of the CLA you find in dietary supplements is artificially produced, so be careful about taking too many. Omega-3, that nutrient I’m sure you’ve heard so much about, is yet another natural fatty acid.

This trans fat is found naturally occurring in eggs. In order to get the eggs with the most Omega-3, you’ll want to buy free range eggs from chickens that were allowed to get what they want to eat out on the farm. Healthy foods to eat that contain Omega-3 also include flax-seed, walnuts, soybeans, and tofu. Try to inculcate at least one of these into your everyday diet.

There is another side to this coin, however. Since many local and even state governments have mandated the amount of trans fats contained in most foods, most people assume it’s because all trans fats are bad.

Then, people will continue to avoid all trans fats, never knowing that such a thing as good trans fats exist. Now you know the truth about trans fats. Now you can use this as the catalyst for helping you to lose weight and stay fit and healthy.
