THE SKINNY ON FAT

Most people think that fat is what makes you fat, but really it is excess insulin production (caused by the overconsumption of sugar) that is mainly responsible for
adding fat to your frame. Additionally “fat free” foods are often higher in sugar than their full-fat counterparts, which leads of course to more insulin production and eventually more fat!
Fat is a critical part of your diet! Do not skimp on good fats. Eat polyunsaturated fat (heart smart) these don’t clog the arteries.
Fats help to
• Make food taste good
• Release a hormone to the brain called cholecystokinin which tells the body “I am full”
• Slow the entry rate of sugar into the bloodstream which gives you more long-term energy throughout the day.

These good fats include- fish, olive oil, nuts, seeds
Bad fats- chips, cake, any fried food.
