The 2 Mistakes people make when Eating Fat.

The Two Mistakes that People Make When Eating Fats Are you afraid of eating fat? Are you what I call, a fat-ophobic? Well if you are, in today’s session, we’re going to learn about “The Two Mistakes that People Make When Eating Fats.” Doctors have always taught patients not to eat fat—that was the dogma: low fat is the way to go. However, new research is showing us that we need to be eating good fat and making sure that we’re eating the good carbohydrates. Number 1 mistake: People are not eating the correct fat. Fats you want to be eating: 1. Avocado – a mono unsaturated oil 2. Fish – (make sure you’re getting it aqua farm - sustainable farmed fish in the form of aqua fish) a. Salmon b. Mackerel c. Sardines · Resource recommendation on aqua farming: Check out TED Talks with Dan Barber and Mike Velings 3. Raw Nuts – not salted, not sugared, not chocolate coated a. Cashew b. Almonds c. Walnuts d. Macadamia e. Pecan f. Pine 4. Raw Seeds – ideal for smoothies a. Pumpkin b. Sesame c. Chia d. Hemp seeds 5. Oils a. Extra virgin olive oil b. Extra virgin coconut oil – increases the mitochondria, which burns energy then increases our metabolism and loses our body fat weight · Note: Google fake names for olive oil to avoid 6. Grass-Fed Meat, Organic Eggs and Grass-Fed Butter Fats you want to AVOID: 1. Transfat A transfat is synthetically made in the laboratory and what they do is, they pump in hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen just makes everything nice and stable and they come out as hydrogenated oils or partially hydrogenated oils. · Hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils a. Margarine b. Cakes c. Fried foods like fish and chips d. Cookies / bickies e. Crackers or savory crackers f. Pastries. 2. Vegetable Oil - unstable with high heat and causes free radicals · 2 C’s of vegie oils to avoid: a. Corn b. Canola · 3 S’s of vegie oils to avoid: a. Soy bean b. Safflower c. Sunflower Number 2 mistake: People eat sweets with their fat. Include fiber in your diet, especially when you’re eating sugar or fat. Fiber helps absorb the sugar into our blood stream so we don’t have such a spike of our blood sugar. Your fiber is your dark green leafy vegetables. You can have as much of that because not only is that a fiber but that’s also a good carbohydrate. Now I'm going to give you the correct equation when you’re eating fat: Good fat + carbohydrate (limit in amount) + fiber What type of carbs should we eat? Starchy carbs you want to keep to a minimum of ½ cup 2x/day: a. Beets b. Parsnip c. Turnips d. Pumpkin e. Squash f. Sweet potato (kumar) g. Bread h. Grains i. Rice j. Quinoa k. Beans Make sure that you have NO SUGARS in the form of white bread, pastries, crackers and white potato because that’s just HIGH GLUCOSE LOAD as you’re just going to store this fat. So I hope that helps guide you to become fat-ophobic no more! Now let’s go out there and Make a Difference. Love Unconditionally, and Forgive Frequently! Your friend; Dr. Isabel MD ( Izzy)
