As a quick guide to what fats are desirable and which aren't, if a fat is solid at room temperature then you should keep clear of eating it. If however a fat is a liquid at room temperature - then it is much more desirable. Remember a certain amount of fat is needed to absorb fat soluble vitamins, for your skin, your joints and also keep your muscles sensitive to insulin. Good sources of fats in your diet are, Extra Virgin Olive oil/Safflower oil/Flax oil or almond oil. A few egg yolks, NATURAL peanut butter and other nuts such as Cashews/Almonds/Walnuts, seeds, oily fish such as Mackerel or Salmon and avocado pears. An off-season intake of 60 - 100 grams of fats should be ample. |
