Weight Loss Experts Say You Should Stop Cooking With These 2 Types Of Oil Because They Lead To Visceral Fat

To discover some of the worst oils out there that may be holding you back from your weight loss goals, we spoke to fitness nutrition specialist David Sautter. He told us that vegetable oils like soybean oil and corn oil should be avoided as much as possible. Learn more about the risks of these ingredients — and find some healthy alternatives — below.

“Typically found in processed foods and often partially hydrogenated, soybean oil is high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can contribute to inflammation when consumed in excessive amounts,” he warns. This inflammation can also lead to a slowed metabolism, which will also throw a wrench in your weight loss goals.

Instead of reaching for this oil, Sautter recommends you “choose oils with a better omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, such as flaxseed oil or fish oil.” Got it!

Unfortunately, this oil presents many of the same health issues as soybean oil. “Corn oil is high in omega-6 fatty acids and can lead to an imbalanced ratio with omega-3 fatty acids, increasing inflammation,” Sautter reiterates.

As a replacement, he recommends opting for “oils rich in monounsaturated fats, like extra virgin olive oil.” Not only does using olive oil lower your risk of accumulating visceral fat, but it also offers a number of health benefits to keep your body in tip-top shape.

The bottom line

Ultimately, many factors can contribute to weight gain. If you want to maintain a healthy body weight or shed some pounds, it’s important to exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet consisting of whole foods. However, cutting out particularly harmful foods like vegetable oils is also important. Choosing healthier alternatives like olive oil or avocado oil can support overall health and reduce the risks associated with visceral fat. Your body will thank you!
