Dieting is done by many people to lose weight

play00:04

by reducing the amount of food or eaten

play00:06

or only consuming certain foods.

play00:09

Most dietary activities

play00:10

emphasize the dangers of consuming fat.

play00:12

However, some also encourage us

play00:15

to consume more fat.

play00:18

Some diets also prohibit consuming sugar

play00:20

and various other things.

play00:22

So...

play00:24

which diet is actually the best for dieting?

play00:38

Let's start with sugar.

play00:39

Actually, here's a fun fact about sugar that's less-known.

play00:43

In the 1960s,

play00:46

the sugar industry financed research

play00:47

that made the risk of sugar consumption

play00:49

seem less important

play00:51

and instead emphasized the dangers of fat.

play00:53

They wanted to deny any possible involvement of sugar

play00:56

in heart disease

play00:57

so they sponsored research by top universities.

play01:02

In 1980,

play01:04

research came out stating that consuming excess fat

play01:07

would increase the risk of heart disease.

play01:09

The United States Department of Agriculture responded to this

play01:11

by creating dietary guidelines

play01:13

that recommend avoiding fat,

play01:15

leading to the production of low-fat foods.

play01:19

Indeed,

play01:20

not everything in nutrition is always black or white.

play01:23

There are no clear boundaries that define

play01:25

what is bad and what is good.

play01:28

Why?

play01:29

Well...

play01:30

Carbohydrates are divided into several types.

play01:32

These are simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates.

play01:36

Sugar is a form of carbohydrate.

play01:38

Scientifically, it is called sucrose.

play01:41

Other forms of complex carbohydrates

play01:42

include starch, such as those we find in bread,

play01:45

rice,

play01:46

beans

play01:47

and potatoes.

play01:48

Scientists' main concern is with refined carbohydrates,

play01:52

which we find in pretty much everything we eat,

play01:54

such as carbonated drinks,

play01:56

snacks like chocolate and candy,

play01:58

and even flour in noodles, bread and fried foods.

play02:01

But,

play02:02

why do refined carbohydrates attract so much negativity?

play02:05

Unlike natural carbohydrates,

play02:07

they are the type of carbohydrates we call,

play02:10

"empty calories."

play02:12

Foods that contain refined carbohydrates,

play02:14

often contain only small amounts of nutrients

play02:16

such as vitamins and minerals.

play02:18

However, the foods we mentioned earlier

play02:20

taste so good

play02:22

that many people can't live without it.

play02:25

It's difficult for us to resist these foods.

play02:28

That's why for the past 30 years

play02:31

developed countries have experienced obesity pandemics.

play02:33

Therefore,

play02:35

although Indonesia has not yet reached

play02:36

alarming levels of obesity,

play02:39

we still have to pay attention to what we eat.

play02:42

Refined carbohydrates do taste good.

play02:44

But, it's not fair if we blame everything on them.

play02:48

So, let's try to dig up information about its rivals.

play02:51

Especially that of fat.

play02:53

Misinformation about fat is everywhere.

play02:57

In fact, many health experts may still label fast as unhealthy.

play03:02

Because many people are hesitant

play03:03

about accepting the benefits of fat,

play03:05

we should remember its function in our body.

play03:08

Fat makes up a large part of our cell membranes,

play03:11

it helps regulate body temperature

play03:13

and allows us to fare better in colder climates,

play03:16

as well as aiding the absorption of vitamin A,

play03:19

D,

play03:19

E

play03:20

and vitamin K.

play03:21

Fat is not just "fat."

play03:24

There are several types that are good.

play03:25

For instance, omega 3 and 9

play03:27

found in nuts, fish, avocado, and olive oil.

play03:31

But, there are also bad fats,

play03:32

β€œtrans fats”

play03:33

usually found in margarine, cakes, cooking oil

play03:36

and other non-natural oils.

play03:39

Naturally occurring oils can also turn into trans fats

play03:43

when heated to high temperatures.

play03:46

Trans fats are bad for our bodies

play03:47

because they trigger inflammation

play03:49

that can lead to various conditions

play03:50

such as heart disease,

play03:52

stroke,

play03:53

and various digestive problems.

play03:55

In conclusion, whatever diet you choose,

play03:57

you will be better off consuming foods

play03:59

that don't go through too much processing.

play04:01

The fewer processes the food goes

play04:03

to get into our body,

play04:05

the better.

play04:06

Though remember, carbohydrates and fats

play04:08

can also be eaten in moderation.
