What is Fat Sensitivity?

Fat is one of the major macronutrients, along with proteins and carbohydrates. Fat serves as a source of energy, acts as an insulation to regulate body temperature, promotes healthy cell functions and helps in vitamin absorption.

In a broad sense, fat can be categorized into two types: saturated fat and unsaturated fat. Examples of food containing unsaturated fats are avocados, olives, peanut butter, vegetable oil like sunflower, corn, or canola, fatty fish like salmon and mackerel. Food with high proportion of saturated fat include cheese, butter, pizza, sausage, red meat, dairy products and some vegetable products, such as palm kernel oil and coconut oil.

High intake of saturated fat has always been associated with weight gain and increased BMI. Variants in several genes involved in fat metabolism are reported to have impact on our sensitivity and response to fat intake, which eventually affect the weight and BMI.

How It Affects Your Body

High fat sensitivity is often associated with excessive fat intake and low fat metabolism. These negatively affect your body by increasing the risk of developing obesity.

Research has shown that obesity is linked to other health complications such as diabetes, heart diseases, hypertension, and cancer.

Signs

Suggested Lifestyle Changes

Dietary Recommendations:

  1. Limit your intake of foods high in fat. According to the Ministry of Health Malaysia, the overall recommendation of fat intake in adults should be within a range of 25-30% of total calories, with less than 10% of the total energy intake from saturated fats.
  2. Choose healthy fats by eating a variety of foods that have higher amounts of unsaturated fats instead of saturated fats. For example, nuts, seeds, avocado, and fatty fish like salmon, sardine, tuna and mackerel. Reduce your intake of foods with high proportions of saturated fat such as cheese, butter, whipped creams, fried foods, pizza, sausage, and processed or red meat.

Lifestyle Recommendations:

  1. Studies have found that stress slows down fat metabolism, resulting in accumulation of fat in the body. It is advisable to resolve stressful situations and strive for a more balanced life. Stress reliever methods include meditation, exercises, getting enough sleep, yoga, and connections with loved ones.
  2. Avoid smoking. Research has shown that tobacco smoking has a negative effect on fat metabolism as it increases insulin resistance (higher risk of getting diabetes) and tissue lipotoxicity (fat accumulation in tissues).
