Do you fear that an ounce of fat on your lips will turn into a pound of fat on your hips?
Do you feel guilty if you eat something with fat in it?
Do you consciously buy fat free foods?
Despite all this, do you find it hard to lose weight?
A HEALTHY ADULT should be getting about 1/4 of their days calories from fat. Your body NEEDS FAT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. It is a vital nutrient that supplies the body with essential fatty acids. These help transport and absorb the fat-soluble vitamins - A, D, E & K around the body.
Great sources of good fats are; oily fish, nuts & seeds, avocados, olives, sunflower and olive oil and vegetable oils.
Fat is digested more slowly than protein or carbohydrate, thus satisfying the body.
250 calories worth of 2 rice cakes topped with a 2tbsps of peanut butter will keep you satisfied for longer than 250 calories worth of plain rice cakes - THINK ABOUT IT!
If you are struggling to lose weight and relying on willpower to not eat fat, then give me a call. Together we can change your eating habits.
Happy eating!
