Many of us fail to get enough healthy fats in our daily diet. Not the kid you'll find in the sack of fat you pick up at the drive-thru window. Healthy fats - like omega-3 fats are seriously lacking in the average diet.
University researchers reveal a moderate fat diet - with 30 percent of calories coming from healthy fats - can actually help you lose weight! Eat more healthy fats and drop those extra pounds for good! Heart healthy fats like those found in salmon, walnuts, and olive oil help you feel full longer. The trick is to eat the right kind of fat to both satisfy your appetite and boost weight loss.
To lose weight and get lean, you need to eat the right kind of fat. Avoid saturated and trans fats (which are found in red meat, full-fat dairy products, and many packaged foods). Instead, choose monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Read the food labels. If you see the words "partially hydrogenated" in the food nutrition label - put it back on the shelf!
Opt instead for foods with healthy fats. Use extra virgin olive oil ( a teaspoon or so will be plenty ) in your vinegar and oil dressing! Add some chopped walnuts on your salad for an extra bit of omega-3 fats! Add a quarter or half of an avocado to your salad. There are plenty of ways to sneak healthy fats into your daily healthy eating choices!
Fat has about 10 calories per gram. So, fat is a more concentrated energy source than protein or carbohydrates. Be careful and watch your total calories if you want to eat more healthy fats and lose weight!
