FATS: Really?

Yes, you heard it right. Fats are very important for your health and for your body to grow. But make sure that there is a difference between Healthy Fats and Normal fats. Stay away from junk foods like - Pizza, Burger etc.

Don’t be afraid of eating fat, trying to do both low-carb AND low-fat at the same time is a recipe for failure. It will make you feel miserable and abandon the plan.

Let's take a look at some of the best Fat Sources available in the market.

Fat Sources:

• Olive oil
• Coconut oil
• Avocado oil
• Butter
• Tallow

Eat 2-3 meals per day. If you find yourself hungry in the afternoon, add a 4th meal.

Eating saturated fats will not make you fat; untill and unless you eat like a pig. In order to respond and function properly, your body needs some fats to complete the cycle of Protein, Fats and Carbs.

The best cooking fat to use is Olive Oil. It is rich in fats called medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). These fats are more fulfilling than others and can boost metabolism slightly.

There is no reason to fear these natural fats, new studies show that saturated fat doesn’t raise your heart disease risk at all.

Assemble each meal out of a protein source, a fat source and a low-carb vegetable. This will put you into the 20-50 gram carb range and drastically lower your insulin levels.

So the bottom line is, don't forget to include protein, fats and carbs in every meal of yours. Always eat natural foods because natural foods have zero side effects.
