Eat Fat to Lose Fat

Fat free alternatives may have a fewer calories, but does cutting fat out of your diet actually help in losing body fat? Fats are an essential part of your diet and are necessary for your body to process food and nutrients the way it needs to in order to use stored fat as fuel. Coach Calorie shares the details.

"Fat is one of those essential macronutrients.  More specifically, we are talking about essential fatty acids (EFAs). When your body doesn’t get in enough of the nutrients it needs, it will send out hunger signals to tell you to eat until it does get them. Essential fatty acids cannot be manufactured by the body, so they need to be consumed through your diet.Omega-3 and omega-6 are the two essential fatty acids we must ingest because the body cannot synthesize them. Most of us get in enough of the omega-6 fatty acids, but are lacking with the omega-3s. Good sources of EFAs include seeds, nuts, and fish. I like to supplement with fish oil to get my EFAs. Essential fatty acids might be the only essential fats, but saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats play a large role in the body too." - Tony Schober
