Eat Your Fat

While my wife is on the topic of food, I'd like to share some thoughts on fat. Fat is good for us, we can't live without it and we should generally be eating more. I ran across this Paleo post today...

I told my friend I was thinking about trying to have a baby in the next couple years and she asked if I’d continue eating paleo if I got pregnant. I told her that the only change I’d make would be to add a larger proportion of fat into my diet.[...]
I told her I’d be eating more fatty meats. More lard, more pemmican, more organs, more fish eggs, AND more avocados and nuts. And don’t forget palm oil, coconut oil and fish oozing with omega 3′s. It’s all good.

Really? you can't be serious, but yes: Fat is much better than simple Carbs (breads)

Our bodies prefer it [fat] as fuel over carbs. Here’s a mantra to help you work through your guilt while enjoying your un-skinned chicken legs cooked in lard: my body prefers fat for fuel, my body prefers fat for fuel. Or just try to say it five times out loud because it’s fun.

Read the whole thing: Fat, fat, fat, fat. Eat some.
