When I say “fat,” what comes to mind? Do you think about the fat in food, or the fat in our bodies? Does it have a negative connotation in your mind?
This is the 3rd part of the “Macronutrient Series” where I’m covering the macronutrients: carbohydrates, protein and (you guessed it) FAT!
In this episode we’re digging into fat and what your body fat does for you, as well as the role of fat in your food. If you’ve ever felt like eating high-fat foods is unhealthy, or worried that eating things high in fat was going to cause weight gain or increase your risk of heart disease, then this is the episode for you.
We’re going to break down everything you need to know about fat, and how to approach it from a gentle nutrition standpoint within your intuitive eating journey.
Let’s do this!
