Eat Real Fat To Burn Fat

Synthetic trans fat (hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated vegetable oil) has been linked to a range of health conditions, including obesity. Although food manufacturers have been reducing their use of trans fats in recent years, the additive still remains in many processed foods.

Real fats are not synthetic.  They are found in nature’s foods and come from:

• Animals raised on food they were designed to eat (not grain or soy)
• Vegetables
• Fatty fruits such as avocados and olives
• Nuts and seeds
• Olive and coconut oils
• Fish

Here’s another way in which we diverge from other low-carb diets you may have tried. Many popular diets tell you to replace carbs with lean protein such as egg whites and skinless chicken breast. They also tell you to refrain from adding fat to your food. In other words, skip the butter and the olive oil. Does this sound like a fun way to eat to you? If it doesn’t, that’s probably why you couldn’t stick with such diets.

You can lose weight–possibly even faster and definitely in a more healthful way–by not concerning yourself with the leanness of the meat you eat or avoiding fatty vegetables such as olives. Eat the meat you want. Go ahead and have real eggs. Put avocado in your salads. Eat the dark meat on that chicken. (You can even have the skin.) Go ahead and have red meat too. Use real oil on your green salad and real mayonnaise in your tuna salad. Enjoy fat and enjoy it without guilt!
