4 Healthy Fats to Keep you Fit
Play • 29 min
It was two decades ago, and I was preparing for my first bodybuilding show. The nutrition ideology was quite different back then, and dietary fat was not in fashion and was actually frowned upon. I had acute but short-term side effects from the radically low-fat diet I was following including: • Extremely low libido • Inflammation in my joints • Hair fall-out. Yes, that’s right, a lot of my hair fell out! These symptoms disappeared in the months after the event as I got back to my regular diet which included a lot more dietary fat. Here’s a look at the four sources of healthy fats that I would recommend to improve your health, manage your weight and even improve your cognitive performance. 1. Butter: Yes butter is back! After being shelved with the introduction of margarine and the very successful marketing campaign that included the slogan “I can’t believe it’s not butter,” butter is making a comeback! 2. Coconut Oil: The coconut has found a new home far from the Caribbean now that it has become popular across North America. 3. Avocados: The strange looking food that doesn’t look much like a fruit has become very mainstream in the last few years, and it’s no wonder why. 4. Fish (certain varieties): Fish such as Salmon, Trout, Sardines, Mackerel and Anchovies are all supercharged with Omega-3 fatty acids which are essential to humans because we cannot produce this type of fat and must get it from our food. Bonus! Listen to the show and find out what fat supplement I used 20 years ago that improved my memory and energized me while I prepared for a bodybuilding show!
