The team of british scientists has found that seaweed added to backery and other fat containing products can reduce fat absorbtion but up to 75%.
It’s obvious that reducing your fat intake is very good for overall weight loss. Recommended daily fat intake depends on your age, constitution and lifestyle. So if your fat intake is too high you should reduce it somehow.
Here is a recommended daily fat intake values according to your total calorie consumption:
| Total calories per day |
Saturated fat in grams |
Total fat in grams |
|---|---|---|
| 1,600 | 18 or less | 53 |
| 2,000 | 20 or less | 65 |
| 2,200 | 24 or less | 73 |
| 2,500 | 25 or less | 80 |
| 2,800 | 31 or less | 93 |
The secret is the natural fibre alginate from the sea kelp. It’s already used in small quantities in food as a thickener. Early taste tests indicate possibility of adding in greater quantities.
Dr Iain Brownlee said: “This suggests that if we can add the natural fibre to products commonly eaten daily – such as bread, biscuits and yogurts – up to three quarters of the fat contained in that meal could simply pass through the body.
By the way seaweeds are not only product capable to prevent fat absorbtion. For example Proactol – clinically proven fat binder. It is available in the form of pills and will absorb up to 28% of the fat in anything you eat.
