Mini micro-rant this morning: low-fat does not mean something is good for you. Fat is good for you. Fat is great for you. And not franken-fats, either. Good old fashioned fat. Fat in butter and cheese. Fat in avocado. Fat in coconuts. Fat in nuts and seeds. Eat it. Embrace it. Love it. Don't eat the egg-white and throw away the yolk. Don't buy fat-free yogurt. Buy the highest fat yogurt you can find, and savour every bite.
News flash: sugar can be bad for you!!! Sugar undergoes lipogenesis in your liver and stores as fat. Sugar makes you hungrier. You know what they replace fat with when they make a product fat-free? Sugar and starch. You are better off eating something in its natural form.
I'm not talking deep-fried stuff. That's not going to cut it. I'm talking food in its unadulterated form. Eat an entire avocado and a handful of almonds and walnuts and a lovely big piece of cheese with a plate full of spinach leaves. Chances are if you do that you won't even have the desire let alone the room for cookies after. Eat organic peanut butter by the spoonful. Drink 5% raw milk. Dress your quinoa generously with coconut oil or butter.
Humans need fat. Humans love fat. Fat is great for your skin and your hair and your cellular processes and your brain and your beauty. Fat keeps you lean and healthy!
Don't tell me how great something is because it's low fat or fat-free. Don't buy into the hype. Eat real food. Mostly plants. Watch your portion size. Watch your sugar intake. Load on the fat.
