Why I Eat Fat
OK, if you’ve read anything of mine then you’ll know that I’m pro-fat. I think it’s a simple substance that’s been much maligned, yet for poor reasoning.
Here’s three reasons I like Good Fat :
1. It makes healthy food more palatable - Chowing down a salad is a lot easier with a tasty flaxseed oil and balsamic vinegar dressing.
2. It is hard to eat a lot of it - Contrary to what people say, it’s quite hard to overindulge in fat by itself. A bag of potatoe chips has a lot of fat, but it has even more carbs.
3. It can help burn fat - Omega 3’s can help raise your metabolic rate.
Fat for thought!
