8. Weight Loss
Nutritional science has brought to light the importance of a diet high in protein and healthy fats for weight loss. Meal plans like the modified ketogenic diet and the paleo diet offer dramatic fat loss results for obese and overweight individuals.
Previously, nutritionists thought that fat was responsible for weight gain. While trans-fats are extremely bad for your health, saturated, monounsaturated, and Omega-3 fatty acids, are very good for you. Mushrooms are an excellent source of fiber and Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA.)
Mushrooms only contain trace amounts of carbohydrates, making them ideal for anyone implementing a fat loss diet. This nutrient-dense form of nutrition ranks higher than most other vegetables and fruits regarding their nutrient value. Mushrooms help get the weight off, and they help keep it off. Speak to a nutritionist about creating a keto or paleo diet that includes mushrooms for optimal health and fat loss.
