A fat free diet is not a healthy diet!

A fat free diet is not a healthy diet!

While too much of the wrong kinds of fat is bad for our health, completely cutting fat from your diet is too! Unfortunately, we’re often made to feel that we should avoid ALL fats, and that simply isn’t true.

Getting enough of the right kinds of fats is essential for a healthy mind and body, and eliminating fat from your diet completely can actually be really bad for you! For example, as women, if we don’t get enough fat in our diet we can lose our periods - which can affect our ability to have kids! Keep your intake of saturated and trans fats to a minimum, but be sure to include a moderate amount of healthy fats - like those found in salmon, avocados and nuts - in your diet every day.

Read this article to find out more about the different kinds of fats.

Tip! Check the label of ‘fat free’ products, as many actually contain high levels of sugar, artificial sweeteners and other nasties to compensate.
