Tip #27
Eat Fat, Lose Fat
by Dr. John Berardi
To lose fat, sometimes you have to eat fat. Monounsaturated fats and certain polyunsaturates actually speed up the metabolic rate. The best of the fat burning bunch are the highly unsaturated omega 3s called EPA and DHA. These omega 3 fatty acids can potentially help burn blubber through a variety of different mechanisms. A diet supplemented with omega 3-rich fish oil promotes losses of body fat with simultaneous gains in lean mass. That’s right, more muscle and less fat, baby!

In the beginning of your post you blast my mind like a dynamite. I was shocked to read that how we can reduce fats but eating them more. Explanation refrain me to blast and am happy to know the solution.
It is the truth! People who stop eating all together end up just getting fat, your body will lock up and hold onto everything it has. Fat is what makes muscle, therefor you need fat to make muscle!
normally do not take the time to make posts but nice site you have here!

That’s true. Nutritional fat and fat inside your body are two different things. Your body treats fats as a source of energy (similarly to carbs). If you don’t use the energy it’ll be stored in your fat storage “for later”. But the same thing happens with carbs.
The thing is that fats are high in calories. One g of fat = 9 kcal compared to carbs or protein (both are around 4kcal) it’s a lot. So eating fat foods can make you fat but not because you’re eating fat but because you’re eating too much of it. Everything is healthy in moderation (well except trans-fats – they’re the work of the devil)

It was shocking to me as well but as I read more and more I understood the rule. You can’t quit on any food group. To have a well balanced diet you have to eat all of them in good proportions.
