Eat the Right Fats to Lose Fat Faster

Believe it or not, you need to eat fat to lose body fat. "Good" fats can help you lose pounds in a fast and healthy way. Of course, the wrong kinds of fat will only make you gain weight and have poorer health.

So it makes sense to cut back -- or even totally eliminate your intake of bad fats -- and increase your intake of good fats.

The most important dietary fats are omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. These healthy fats also happen to have a strong fat-burning effect that can boost the metabolism and make it easier/faster to lose weight. Monounsaturated fats like those found in nuts, seeds, avocado, olive oil, and chocolate are also extremely important.

Finally, medium-chain triglycerides, like those found in virgin coconut oil, should also be part of your diet.

If you really want to get fit, lose body fat, and look better quickly take the following steps regarding dietary fat intake:

-- cut out all saturated fats
-- cut out all trans fats
-- reduce or eliminate your intake of fried foods
-- eat omega-3 fats every day, especially those found in fish and seafood
-- eat some omega-6 fats every day
-- consume several servings of monounsaturated fats daily
-- eat medium chain triglycerides several times per week

Most of your dietary fat should come from fish/seafood, nuts, seeds, nut/seed butters, avocado, olive oil, coconut oil, and dark chocolate or cacao. If you stick to these sources you'll be able to reduce your weight, lose ugly body fat, boost your energy, speed up your metabolism, feel better, and get fit much, much faster!
