Part 3 0f 3 - HEALTHY FATS TO EAT TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!

3/6/2016

0 Comments

 
Growing up, fat was (and in some cases still is) the F-Bomb word of the food world.  The problem is, most of us eat way too much of the "bad, unhealthy fats" (ie. trans fats - factory produced fats) and not enough of the good fats (mono & poly unsaturated fats). The big question is: Eat fat to lose body fat? Gasp?! YES! In order to lose weight and keep body healthy, you must eat some fat.  It is just a question of what kind of fat and how much you eat of it.  Your body cannot run without fat, and you brain cannot function properly without it either. Healthy fats aid digestion.  Their absence would cause digestion to cease and even though you may still be eating plenty, you would slowly starve. Your muscles would atrophy and waste as well....not a pretty scene! You should be eating 2 to 3 servings of healthy fats every day.
Some Examples of Healthy Fats -
meats/dairy products from grass fed, antibiotic free cows
cold water fish - char, salmon, halibut, trout
warm water fish - mahi-mahi, snapper, tilapia and grouper among many
nuts & seeds (almonds, cashews,walnuts, pecans, flaxseed, sunflower seeds)
Avocados
Nut butters (organic/natural peanut/Almond)
Olive oil
Coconut oil
Pumkinseed oil
Safflower oil
hazelnut oil
