Guest guest Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 dear Herbalists, Whilst reseaarching Saw Palmetto _ I came across this interesting titbit of data - It's steroid like substance make it easier to gaib weight. As well as gaining weight - it will also make one feel good. A person who has a fast metabolism should not avoid fat in their diet. About 10% of the population need fat. If they don't have it, they will start cannibalizing their own protein. Fat contains 9 calories of energy per gram. Carbohydrates contain 4 calories of energy per gram. Many children are suffering from not enough good fat. They have a very fast metabolic rate and the media encourages the parents to avoid good fats . Calcium is absorbed into the body as a fat and, without enough fat in the diet, the personcannot retain the calcium needed. So, in a fast metabolizer, calcium loss is greater if fat is not present...... The American Indians and all primitive tribes would eat big globs of fat from their kills. It was considered a delicacy....... .........................................Best Wishes Penny (who is sure this post will result in some debate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
