Olive Oil in the morning?

[BornReady86]

i read in this health magazine that taking a teaspoon (or tablespoon?) of olive oil in the morning upon waking can help shed fat and control hunger throughout the day. has anyone ever heard of this? is this true, or just some fad? i'll try and find an online article about this and post it here.

I use this no fat olive oil that I picked up from the supermarket the other day...it has zero fat or calories...its extra virgin olive oil and it comes in a spray can! really cool you just squirt it into what ever yr cooking...not heard about yr theory but I use it every morning when scrambling my egg whites and salmon...works a treat! No fat extra virgin olive oil check it out...im from London so it maybe called something different in the states..

Two things...

I'm not skeptical as I'm curious. And I'm from a third world country, also... But how can an oil have not fat? What is there to make it look oily? Sorry for the simplicity of this question, btw.

Second is, wouldn't you be defeating the whole purpose of having the olive oil if it actually has zero fat? From what I understood, the OP's guess is that it is healthy to consume the olive oil by the morning exactly because of the fatty acids. An olive oil without fat seems great to prepare eggs and chicken, but you'll obviously not reach your EFA's goal using it either.

Peace!

I dont think youre evaluating this properly.

Pam can be 0 calories and zero fat if you use a 1/3 second spray as indicated.
How?
No one uses 1/3 of a second of a spray. If One almond is 10 calories, a half an almond is 5 calories. A quarter almond is 2 calories, 1/8th of an almond is 1 calorie and finally 1/16th of an almond is 0.5 calories which can be labelled as Zero calorie.

All those type of aerosol products are just Oil in spray form.

Ok guys I have the spray bottle in front of me as we speak...maybe I exaggerated just a little but this is what it reads...

Fry light...EXRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL SPRAY...for low fat cooking...only 1 cal per spray..no cholesterol..non stick..the guy aboves breakdown is pretty spot on...each spray contains zero fat but per 100 ml contains 55.2 grams of fat its a 250 ml spray bottle...4 sprays in a 10" pan contain 0.4 grams of fat which is still pretty low and a lot better than using other types of oil..

I tend to know my **** lol. Been doing it for too long.

The spray though comes in handy because you get to regulate it much more efficiently rather than pouring oil into a pan and rubbing it with a towel

it's 0 cals for probably just a "puff"

I do use it for omelets and here and there. Pretty tasty as well

Nothing wrong with olive oil.. if anything the healthy fat helps out losing weight, you need it.

Yes, olive oil is good anytime! Those are the fats you want to include in your diet, not exclude. They have many many health benefits.

LOL I stand corrected! The spray thing is cool and efficient as you say, All you do is spray a little on the the meat or whatever yr cooking and add as you go if need be...it reads
Each 1 cal spray of fry light replaces up to 30 cals from conventional oil in shallow frying and roasting..

Olive oil is great but its easily to seriously overdose. Just make sure to take note of the sprays that you do use. 1-2 sprays per meal can add up to a decent amount of calories over the day you may not be keeping track of.

are you kidding?

I've been on the GOOOAD diet for months!

so i guess no one has ever heard of this tbs of olive oil in the mornings for fat loss?

[phal]

All it is, is fat basically - which helps a lot of people feel satiated - which is the only benefit I can really think of. I'd rather cook something with it than take a straight TBSP.

Just to get something straight, there is NO such thing as a low fat oil. Oils by definition are 100% fat. Every single kind of oil has exactly the same amount of calories per weight (in terms of volume this is generally 120 per tbsp).

As for having Olive Oil in the morning, I can't comment on whether or not it will "help". What I can say is that the overall effects would be pretty much negligible to much more determining factors such as net calories and exercise.

This si the way i se it, Seeing if you take this First thing when you wake up, cause olive oil is digested very fast, it stops the " FASTING". Which, will raise your metabolizism, first thing in the morning.


BUT, I would wait atleast 1 hour before consuming carbs after your Olive oil, JMO..

Im Keto, so it dont bother me, I have 4 TBLS daily of Olive oil, yummmmmm
