If you read any of the Truth About Abs review sites you will see that they all applaud the use of healthy eating in getting rid of body fat. Mike Geary is the author of this program and, being a certified nutritionist, he has researched the effects of food on the body and come up with results that work.
A lot of diets concentrate on cutting down fat or even cutting it out completely. Did you know that this is detrimental to the functioning of your body, as the brain and heart both need fat to work properly? But did you know that there are good and bad fats? Bad fats do in fact damage your heart and increase your cholesterol. But good fats, such as poly- and monounsaturated, and omega-3, have exactly the opposite effect, protecting the heart, helping your mental health and fighting fatigue.
So the clue is, if you want to cut down on fat, make sure you are cutting out the bad fats and keeping the good fats. This will keep your body healthy.
