Eating healthy fats like nuts, seeds, avocado, olives and oily fish are good for you and help you feel full but how much of them should you be eating and which are the heathiest? We recommend that you eat oily fish such as salmon, trout, tuna and mackerel, three times a week and have at least one heaped tablespoon of nuts and seeds every day. This will ensure you not only meet all your dietary needs for essential fats, but you will also feel satisfied. Don't be put off by the misleading anti-fat messaging. Eating healthy fats can help as part of a health and weight loss programme.
Eating the right fats is important and so is the method used to cook and prepare foods. For instance, frying at high temperatures and burning damages both the food and the oil and makes them harmful to your health. Some oils are OK when used for cooking, but many are not.
It’s best to stick to other methods of cooking like steaming, baking, poaching and steam frying instead of stir frying. You can steam fry simply by adding a small amount of water to the oil, stir frying for a minute or two and then covering with a lid to cook. This method reduces the heat, protecting the oil from becoming damaged and is, therefore, better for your health.
