Zain Saraswati Jamal, Mind, Body, and Spirit Coach, tackles a question she hears often about healthy fats. So many diets focus on cutting out fats, but healthy fats are super important to the body and the brain. It is impossible to maintain a lean physique or effectively lose weight without them. Fats help balance a healthy weight by making you feel fuller longer, aiding in the removal of fat-soluble toxins, speeding metabolic processes, and burning calories. Good fats also reduce inflammation and improve cognitive function, but you have to know what fats to look for. Coconut butter, coconut oil, nut butters, raw nuts, chia seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnut oil, and avocado oil are some of the best that should be a part of any diet focused on maintaining a lean build or losing the weight you want gone.
