Episode 142: Debunking Nutrition Myths - Eating Fat Makes You Fat
Welcome to Episode 142 of the Real World Nutrition podcast! In this installment of our summer series debunking common nutrition myths, Shelley tackles the myth that eating fat makes you fat. This widespread belief has led many to avoid all dietary fats, but the truth is more nuanced.
Healthy fats, particularly unsaturated fats found in avocados, nuts, seeds, and fish, are crucial for brain health, hormone production, and overall well-being. These fats can even support weight management by keeping you fuller for longer and absorbing vital fat-soluble vitamins.
Shelley highlights the benefits of unsaturated fats and the health risks associated with trans fats and excessive saturated fats. She emphasizes distinguishing between different types of fats and incorporating healthy fats into your diet rather than avoiding them altogether.
Also, get practical tips and delicious recipes to include healthy fats in their meals, such as avocado toast, nut and seed mix, salmon salad, smoothies with chia seeds, and Greek yogurt with flaxseeds. Tune in to Episode 142 to learn why eating fat doesn’t make you fat and how to embrace healthy fats for better health.
