Eat more fat

Demetria

I read somewhere that your body absorbs more nutrients from a salad when you pair it with olive oil or another healthy fat versus a low fat salad dressing. Another reason to boost your good fat intake.

that depends on the salad, but yes, some vitamins are fat soluble. So this is most likely true.

Just because.

While I agree that fats are not evil and there is a need for them, there are some people who have to limit fatty foods, even natural fats. I know we all get very passionate about what works for us, but we also need to be open minded and realize that what works for one person might not work for another. That does not mean one person is healthier than the other it just means we are humans and are different.

I myself have to eat a diet that is fat restrictive. . I can't eat red meat or pork at all, fatty meats are a no no and I also have to avoid acidic fruits. I have a few stomach severe stomach issues and this is the only way to control them. So although I agree that fats are not evil some of us really can't help doing a low fat diet I don't think low fat diets should be made to look evil or wrong either.

My sister thought the same thing, until she cut out grains and dairy 100% from her eating plan.

I am lactose intolerant and have to limit grains very rarely do I eat them. I am just saying we are all different and we should not think that just because something works for one person it should work for everyone. With the help of my doctor I have been able to control my health problems without chemical filled meds. I rely solely on diet and exercise and it has worked for me. Even though my doctor is a a conventional doctor he hate what modern medicine has become. He likes to take a natural approach to healing if possible to avoid a patient having to take meds for the rest of their lives.

No where in this thread has anyone said it would work for everyone............

However, most people think that being healthy means cutting out virtually all fat from their diet, which is not true..............

I am healthier now eating upwards of 65% fat than I was when I was eating 15% fat in my diet.

I resurrected this as I refuse to let people bash me for how I eat when it is not "main stream" compared to how ever one else eats.

I see it coming from new members already and I will shout my research and my findings from the roof top of any building I can stand on.

I never bashed you for the way you were eating and I have also not said cutting out all fats is healthy. I said I believe in the benefits of a higher fat diet, however some people have health problems preventing such diets. I said nothing about the way you eat as being wrong or not main stream. I don't know where you got that. There are alot of people who find success not just in weightloss but overall health eating a diet high in fats and low in carbs. If anyone finds a diet that works for them I am proud for them. I do a diet different from you but I know the benefits of the diet you are doing. Why are you fighting with me when I agree with you and your views on higher natural fat consumption?

Ok thats fine, I am sorry I misunderstood. I got confused because it was in the response to my post. I just wanted to make sure you understood I was not bashing you. You have found what works for you so preach on. We all need to be passionate about something. As long as we are open minded we should be able to fight for what we believe in.
