Blueberry White Choc Jaffle Recipe | Nutritional Information 

Your jaffle contains just 307 calories for 6 grams of protein, 9 grams of fat, and 44 grams of carbs.

Many people think this amount of carbohydrates is detrimental to fat loss goals.

But this isn’t true. 

Let’s take a look at why.

How This Jaffle Recipe Helps You Crush Your Goals

There are three scientific reasons these jaffles can help you lose weight:

1. Carbohydrates deliver a boost in the hunger-regulating hormone leptin
2. Carbohydrates don’t store fat (contrary to popular belief)
3. Sweet foods like jaffles can form part of a “flexible diet” that helps make weight loss easier

Let’s take a closer look at these three points. 

Jaffles, Leptin, and Faster Fat Loss

So, what is leptin and how can it help you lose weight?

Leptin is a hunger-regulating hormone that signals to your body when you’ve eaten enough.

And what causes leptin to be released?

Carbohydrates!

This is how carbohydrates keep you full and help you lose weight.

Carbohydrates Don’t Store Fat

Despite copious amounts of evidence to the contrary, some people still claim carbohydrates directly store body fat.

This has been debunked multiple times in scientific studies. 

1. In this review of 32 studies, low carbohydrate diets or ketogenic diets saw no difference in weight loss. 
2. When subjects followed a diet made up of 77% carbohydrates, they still lost weight at the same rate.
3. When subjects go on either high-fat, low-carb diets or high-carb low-fat diets, the fat loss is the same. 

Fat loss comes down to one fundamental truth: it’s governed by a calorie deficit only, not the carbohydrates you do or don’t eat.

Jaffles Can Form Part of A Flexible Diet For Better Results

A “flexible diet” leads to terrific fat loss results.

A flexible diet ensures, for example, that you don’t just eat carbohydrates or fat from sources like potatoes and olive oil, but also foods such as jaffles and chocolate.

This balanced approach allows for better fat loss results because diet subjects don’t feel the need to overeat.

Studies show a strict approach to dieting is associated with overeating and higher body weight. 

Another study found strict and “rigid” dieting associated with symptoms of an eating disorder, disturbance of mood, and even anxiety.

So, you can see why this jaffle recipe serves your sweet tooth and can help you lose more weight!

We can’t eat “perfectly” all the time. Flexibility is key.

Enjoy your jaffles!
