Carbs, not fats, can cause health problems. A recent study has found that refined carbohydrates can increase your risk of premature death while a high fat intake (which accounts for 35% of your diet), has a 23% lower risk of premature death compared to those who eat fewer fats. While old fashioned diet rules used to state that eating fat makes you fat, it turns out that this is far from the truth. To figure out how this factors in when you eat out, if you go to a burger joint, you can stick with beef but maybe swap the buns for a lettuce wrap since that white refined flour causes health issues. While international guidelines recommend that 50 to 65 percent of one’s daily diet should be made up of carbohydrates and 10 percent saturated fat, experts now recommend 50 to 55 percent should be carbohydrates and 35 percent should be fats.
