Due to our ethnic diversity, God has blessed us with so many delicious food and meal that the average Nigerian will be spoilt for choice when deciding what to eat. However, that blessing needs to be appropriated with caution. “Our Nigerian diets are obesity enhancers!” This is because our foods are mostly filled with carbohydrates, with lots of fat e.g. Red Palm oil. This type of food are what we've eaten right from cradle, but the truth is that, this same food are what causes belly fat and a lot of weight gain. It is not that carbohydrates or the fat in itself are Bad, it is the way that those food are actually combined. Lets take for instance, the really popular pounded yam together with a bowl of Egusi.... That large plate of pounded yam and Egunsi food is VERY fattening and definitely causes a fat belly. This is because the food combination contains solely Carbohydrates and fat. And since food is measured by its calories, it is recommended that the average woman needs about 2,000 calories of food a day according to an American University study [NOTE – This will vary from one person to the other depending on their life stages,breastfeeding mothers etc] So, lets say you eat a large plate of pounded yam with delicious egusi soup , if the calories in that ONE meal is calculated, that would contain at most 1,200 calories in just ONE meal. And apart from that, you should know that 1 gram of fat = 9 calories, and also 1 gram of carbhoydrates = 4 calories. So naturally, if you eat three square meals a day, and you eat a large portion of pounded yam like this, it pushes you over the recommended calorie limit. When you eat a high calorie meal like the the large plate of pounded yam and egusi soup do you know what happens in your body?The carbohydrate in the pounded yam releases a lot of Sugar into your blood... And The Equsi soup which is fatty releases a lot of fat into your body. The carbohydrate in turn causes your body to release a large amount of hormone called insulin. This insulin is also referred to as fat storage hormones, because its job is to enable your body to digest sugar and transfer the excess sugar that your body cannot cope with to their storage sites. Note – The release of insulin is quite normal to break down sugar into energy that your body needs to do your daily work. It is when there is too much carbohydrate that its now stored as fat. Also, when you eat fat (like in Egusi), your body produces another hormone called leptin. This leptin's function is to store mostly fat... And guess where all the fats go??? They are stored in your arms, your belly, your hips, your neck and even those places where you have love handles.... That is why you'll sometimes even see a slim person with a big pot belly. So What can you do to stop this fat from our Nigerian Meals...?
