The idea of eating "fat" was scary to me for a long time. Actually, for most of my life I avoided eating it at all. I was under the impression that eating fat=fat on my body. I had no idea how wrong I was about this until I began my studies in holistic nutrition. I learned that there is a huge difference between healthy fats and unhealthy fats. Healthy fats like olive oil, coconut oil, avocado, nuts, seeds, cacao butter (pictured above) are essential to a well balanced diet and a fully functioning thyroid (which helps aid our metabolism). Once I started incorporating healthy fats into my diet I was so much more satisfied at every meal, I didn’t have to eat as much, I felt happier (as healthy fats improve brain health and alleviate depression) and my memory improved. I recommend eating fat with every meal to help prevent heart disease, lower cholesterol and boost your metabolism for weight loss benefits. Are you afraid to eat fat?
