šŖ Why Fats Matter (Even on a Fat Loss Journey)
Letās set the record straight! donāt make you fat. Eating too much of anything does. But hereās the cool part: your body needs fat to function at its best, especially when you're training or trying to lose weight.
For both men and women, healthy fat levels support your s*x hormones (think: testosterone, estrogen).
Low fats? Say hello to energy crashes, poor recovery, and stalled progress.
⢠Women need fat to maintain healthy menstrual cycles and balance hormones.
⢠Men rely on fats for optimal testosterone and muscle-building.
ā ļø Tip:
Fats are super high in caloriesā¦. One tablespoon of olive oil = 120 calories.
Compare that to 1 cup of strawberries (only ~50 calories)⦠big difference
So yes, fats are healthyā¦but you HAVE to measure them. A little ādrizzleā can turn into a few hundred extra calories real quick.
