Over the last few weeks you will have seen the big debate about eating fats.
How did you find the debate? Are you confused?
There was so much to take
in.
It boils down to this really: "Good" fats consist of nuts, avocado, coconut oil, grass-fed cows butter (eg Kerry Gold) and unheated, untreated oils, eg olive oil, nut oil.
"BAD" fats are those trans-fats - fats which have been chemically altered within processed foods & spreads, cakes, biscuits & crisps etc.
SATURATED fats are not bad for you - this research is MANY YEARS OLD and has since been found to be
incorrect!
You would have to consume a ridiculous amount of coconut oil or butter (saturated fats) per day, for it to have any negative effects on your health!
Both these fats have many health benefits and we should be adding them into our diet, for HEALTH.
Fats fill you up, making you feel satisfied and are utilised in so many cells of the body, that we MUST include them in a healthy diet....ignore the scaremongers!
(Your brain
is 60% fat, some vitamins are fat soluble and fats are also needed to produce those pesky hormones !!)
Eating a healthy diet including lots of good fats, will allow your metabolism to work like a well-oiled engine and
YES, drop the body fat.
