3) Eat more healthy fats. Basically avoid saturated fats like lard, butter, animal fats. If you eat meat, be sure to remove the skin or blobs of fat before cooking or eating. Any fat that is a solid at room temperature is not good for you. Olive oil is a nice cooking vehicle if you want something fried or sautéed. Nuts, flax seeds, fish, fish oils, seeds and avocados contain healthy fats as well. This is another of those counter-intuitive facts. It seems like if we eat less fat, we’ll burn more. The truth is that our bodies need healthy fats to survive and if we don’t ingest healthy fat, our bodies will not only hold on to the fat we have, but actually may convert sugars to fats. Our brains and nervous systems not only require, but thrive on healthy fats.
