Why Fats Won’t Make You Fat

Barpath Fitness Season 1 Episode 186

In today’s episode of the podcast, we discuss why fat is essential for your body. Fat is a macronutrient that is crucial for maintaining hormone levels, energy, libido, mood, and strength, and supports basic cellular functions, including nutrient absorption. We distinguish between different types of fats: monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and saturated, and discuss the health benefits of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. We go over the recommended daily fat amount and what a diet full of healthy fats looks like. We also discuss omega-3 and omega-6 fats, debunk the myths around saturated fats, and give our caution against seed oils.

In this episode, we discuss: 

  • What Fats Are Healthy? 
  • Omega 3's
  • Seed Oils 
  • Animal Fat
  • 10 Healthy High Fat Foods 
  • Eating Your Healthy Fats
