Cleaning
up your diet by using the right fats and oils is essential to improving
your health from the inside out.
When it comes to cooking with fats, we recommend clarified butter (also known as Ghee) or unrefined coconut oil. We know many folks are used to cooking with olive oil. While olive oil is a good, healthy fat, it is best for cold uses like as a salad dressing or drizzling over already cooked food. Olive Oil oxidizes at high heat. When it oxidizes it loses both flavor and nutrients.
As always, we have for you a handy reference guide about which fats to eat and which fats to ditch.
One last note, is that you should be including fats in all of your meals. Don't count your cooking fat as your fat for the meal. Most of it will likely be left in the pan. Make sure you add a fat to your meal once it has been cooked (i.e. drizzle of olive oil, side of avocado, olives, coconut).
Refer back to the Portion Guide to determine how much you fat you should be eating per meal.
