I think I am really benefitting from adding fat into my Food Plan.
It feels like it stabilises my blood sugar and moods really well. It keeps my body feeling comfortably full for a long time too.
Breakfast is always protein and fat, with some wholegrain.
A colleague I worked with was a body builder and went on a virtually no fat way of eating. Still ate an enormous quantity of food to grow his muscles up. Anyway over the months, he became terribly depressed so much so that he was signed off work sick. The doctor said it was because he was eating so little fat. That our brains need fat to work properly and so become depressed without enough.
Makes me think of oil inside an engine. The engine would soon seize up with out oil.
