Dietary Fats: Their Real Role in Your Body
Dietary fats are not the enemy. When consumed correctly, healthy fats support hormones, metabolism, and long-term fat loss.
Dietary Fats: Their Real Role in Your Body
You may have tried different diets and still failed to lose weight.
This can be extremely frustrating and often leads you to jump from one diet to another, searching for the perfect solution.
When a friend tells you about a new diet and how many kilograms they lost, you immediately feel tempted to try it.
But deep down, you are never fully confident — because past failures have already planted doubt in your mind.
Unfortunately, most diet recommendations ignore one of the most important factors of all: hormonal balance.
If your hormones are not working properly, your body will resist fat loss — no matter how “good” the diet looks on paper.
Why Fats Matter for Hormones
Here is the good news:
You can take a small but powerful step today to support your hormonal health — without tests, supplements, or extra cost.
Healthy fats are essential for:
- Hormone production
- Metabolic health
- Brain function
- Long-term fat loss
A successful diet can only exist when hormones are supported correctly.
For most people, around 30% of daily calories should come from healthy fats.
Sources of Healthy Fats
Below are examples of foods rich in healthy fats:
- Fatty beef
- Lamb
- Pork
- Poultry with skin
- Coconut
- Butter
- Cheese
- Full-fat dairy products
- Walnuts
- Avocado
- Olive oil
- High-oleic safflower oil
- Sunflower oil
- Peanut butter
- Macadamia nuts
- Egg yolks
- Almonds
- Seeds (sunflower, flax, sesame, chia)
- Flaxseed oil
- Grape seed oil
- Mayonnaise
When Should You Eat Fats?
Personally, I recommend consuming most fats in the morning.
Avoid high-fat meals right before training or before sleep.
A simple example meal:
- Cheese with avocado
- Yogurt with mixed seeds (flax + chia + sunflower)
- 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
If avocado is not available, boiled eggs are an excellent alternative.
Final Thought
Healthy fats are not optional.
They are essential for hormone production, metabolic balance, and long-term success with any diet.
