Loose Weight By Cutting Dietary Fat Absorption 2007-12-14 07:14:41 You can lose weight by cutting dietary fat absorption, although in order to understand the need for this you have to appreciate the effect that fat has on your weight. Not only fat, but any form of calories.The word ‘calorie’ appears to have a bad press, and there have been a lot of ill informed comments made about calories and whether calorie controlled diets are effective or not.

It is not necessarily converted to fat, since that extra weight could be in the form of muscle tissue. However, it is converted t Read more:Weight
