🥑 WHY HEALTHY FATS ARE IMPORTANT IN YOUR DIET 🥑
Fats are often misunderstood, but healthy fats are essential for your body — especially when you’re trying to lose fat, build muscle, and stay healthy.
Here’s why you should NOT cut healthy fats:
1. Healthy Fats Give Long-Lasting Energy
Unlike carbs, fats provide slow, steady energy and help keep you fuller for longer.
This helps reduce snacking and overeating.
2. Fats Support Hormones
Healthy fats play a major role in hormone balance.
Low fat diets can lead to:
• Hormone imbalances
• Low energy
• Increased hunger
• Slower metabolism
3. Fats Help With Fat Loss
Yes — eating healthy fats can actually help you lose fat:
• Keeps you fuller for longer
• Reduces cravings
• Prevents overeating
• Supports metabolism
4. Fats Help Your Body Absorb Nutrients
Your body needs fat to absorb important vitamins:
• Vitamin A
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin E
• Vitamin K
Without healthy fats, your body can’t properly use these nutrients.
5. Fats Support Brain & Cell Health
Healthy fats help with:
• Brain function
• Mood
• Memory
• Cell repair
• Skin health
Healthy Fats To Include
✔️ Avocado
✔️ Nuts
✔️ Seeds
✔️ Olive oil

Portion Guide
Healthy fats are important — but still calorie dense:
• 1 thumb oil
• Small handful nuts
• ¼ avocado
• 1 tbsp seeds or nut butter
Balance is key — not too much, not too little.
Remember NB:
Carbs = quick energy
Protein = muscle repair
Healthy fats = hormones, fullness & health
