Behavior Change 3

This is the third installment of our behavior change series. So far we have gone over slowing down while eating and eating three meals a day. The third change to discuss is to eat fat.
The step of incorporating fat into the diet is hard to do simply because we have been told low fat is the way to go. That couldn't be further from the truth because your body needs fat for a variety of daily processes. Your body needs fat for:
-Energy -Manufacturing and balancing of hormones - Forming cell membranes
-Forming our brains and nervous systems -Transportation of vitamins A, D, E, K
Without fat all of these processes will suffer and therefore impact your body's ability to perform at a high level. This leads to us not being able to burn fat as well as weight gain.
Good sources of fat:
-Olive oil -Avocado -Pecans -Almonds -Coconut oil
-Macadamia Nuts -Walnuts -Halibut -Salmon
-Ghee -Grass-fed butter -Cashews -Hazelnuts -Brazil Nuts
-Coconut milk -Coconut (meat/ flakes)
