Love this post! Thanks for sharing the link with me—I feel like we’re twins Really, I just want to help people experience the benefits of fat and stop being scared of it!
I love having my wrinkles be gone…and also, I love the feeling of being satisfied after eating–I think that had only really happened when I over-ate before I started adding fat (and it didn’t last long when it was being carb-full). ….There are some really passionate people about low-fat diets out there—like Dr. Fuhrman and Dean Ornish. I’m still working on the best responses for people who throw the information from them at me… I’d love to hear if you have any thoughts!

I loved this article!! Thank you so much! I agree with the “fat is evil voice” and think that as we learn more about the benefits of eating whole foods, not the processed stuff, we will see the benefits of natural fats and hopefully stop being so scared of it! Thank you again!

You are right that fat is good for you. The problem is not fat, but carbohydrates. Here is a very enlightening article: http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/should-all-animals-eat-a-high-fat-low-carb-diet.html

good post! i use only natural fats these days since reading up on the “real food” lifestyle. I haven’t really got into too much but have incorporated some of it. I got a Nina Planck book from a blogger and I plan on reading it this next month. I might even get Nourishing Traditions to see if it is something that will work for us.

I wish everyone who is still eating egg substitute and putting fat-free “creamer” in their coffee could read this post! I don’t know where we got the idea that imitation foods are better than the real thing, but it’s sure taking us a long time to unlearn this lesson.
