My name is Rebecca Gawthorne (aka “Nourish Naturally”) & I’m an Accredited Practising Dietitian, Accredited Nutritionist & a member of the Dietitians Association of Australia. I love food & despite four years of studying food & nutrition at University, publishing research on health, & helping thousands of clients with their eating, it never ceases to amaze me how important healthy, nourishing food is to our bodies. We need to nourish our bodies with healthy, real, wholesome foods to ensure our bodies function healthily, to feel energetic and live the life we were created to. QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE
I hold a Bachelor of Nutrition & Dietetics (Honours I) from the University of Wollongong. I received First Class Honours for my research conducted at the Sydney Children’s Hospital, which has been published internationally. I have a range of experience at various hospitals, health clinics and community nutrition centres across Sydney, as well as working throughout rural NSW with The Royal Flying Doctor Service as “The Flying Dietitian”. I have presented health seminars, cooking classes and I write nutrition articles for magazines, newspapers, websites & newsletters. I am also a qualified MEND Go4Fun Healthy Kids program leader and have undertaken countless additional courses on mindful eating, weight loss, chronic disease management & healthy eating.WHAT I BELIEVE IN
I don’t believe in fad diets. I don’t believe in restriction. I don’t believe quick fixes with expensive diet pills. I do believe in healthy eating. I do believe nourishing naturally. I do believe in fresh, real, wholesome foods that make you feel, look and live fantastic. And I also believe in treating yourself & enjoying food.

✨SOURCES OF HEALTHY FATS✨ SAVE this👏🏼

Follow for more vital nutrition info.

Fat is a macronutrient that has many vital roles in our body and is essential to our health.

Fat should make up 20-35% of our total energy intake.

There are 4 main categories of fats:
1️⃣Polyunsaturated Fats – these are classified as “healthy” fats and are essential for good health. Polyunsaturated fats include omega 3 & omega 6 fatty acids.
2️⃣Monounsaturated Fats – these are also classified as “healthy” fats.
3️⃣Saturated Fats – these fats are not classified as healthy fats because eating greater amounts of saturated fat has been linked to high blood cholesterol, which is a risk factor for heart disease.
4️⃣Trans Fats – these are classified as “unhealthy fats” because they increase your level of bad (LDL) cholesterol and decreases the level of good (HDL) cholesterol in the body, which increases your risk of heart disease.

⚡️My reel shows foods that are rich in the healthy Polyunsaturated & Monounsaturated fats ⚡️ If you are looking to boost your healthy fat intake, these are the best options to include!

Which is your favourite from the list?

Note - other oils like avocado oil, flaxseed oil etc are also sources of these healthy fats. Do you want more info on healthy oils? Let me know ❤️‍🔥
