Say it with me: Fats do not make you fat!!!
Fats have been demonized for way too long, and I don’t believe one bit that a low fat diet is the way to go for weight loss or balancing blood sugar (I’m not a doctor, but the research is sound)
Studies show that saturated fat is not correlated with an increased risk of heart diseases unless paired with carbohydrates!! Aka eating a burger and fluffy bun and milkshake and greasy fries. Skip all the junk and stick to the meat and veg (for the most part but have fun occasionally)
When I thought I needed to restrict fat, my meals were never very filling and always felt like they were missing something. I personally thought butter was “unhealthy” until a few years ago, and now I eat @kerrygold all the dang time and feel so much healthier and satiated after meals
I add either butter, avocado, coconut milk or olive oil to literally everything that I eat — it adds bomb flavor and amazing fats
Just make sure you’re eating HEALTHY fats with high Omega 3s (anti-inflammatory), not processed junk food (vegetable oils high in Omega 6s and factory farmed low quality meats)
Great sources of healthy fats:
Salmon and other fatty fish
Olives
Avocado
Olive Oil
Pasture-raised Eggs
Coconut Milk/Oil
Grass-fed Butter
Grass-fed Meats
Nuts & Seeds (my favorites are cashews and chia seeds)
