Can fats really play a healthy role in losing weight and getting in shape this summer?

Without a doubt YES they can! In fact, losing weight and getting in shape is both easier and healthier once you know the difference between the fats that heal and the fats that kill.

Trust me, I learnt this wisdom the hard way. I now consume more QUALITY saturated fat than I ever have in my life and my weight and body shape is the healthiest and most stable it has ever been.

No matter how many times we are told of the important roles quality fat plays in our diets and how they assist in increasing our metabolism, balancing our hormones and losing weight, we still have the highest statistics for obesity in the world. There are too many people choosing diets low in saturated fat and who seem to be either unaware or unconcerned by the damage caused by the continued consumption of transfats (hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils) and rancid vegetable oils through crackers, low fat spreads & dressings, sauces, biscuits, crisps, breads and pastries etc.

So it seems, the battle of the bulge continues and so here again is the low down on fats that heal and fats that kill. And if you want to achieve some lasting weight loss and toning results this summer without denying yourself, but instead experiencing an increase in your energy, mental clarity and vitality then embrace this information and make it your knowledge and truth through experiencing these principles for yourself.

To help you make more informed and empowering choices have a read of my article Skinny on fats article and pay a visit to www.westonaprice.org

The following nutrient-rich traditional fats have nourished healthy population groups for thousands of years: Taken from Dr Weston A price research www.westonaprice.org

For Cooking • Butter • Tallow and suet from beef and lamb • Lard from pigs • Chicken, goose and duck fat • Coconut, palm and palm kernel oils For Salads • Extra virgin olive oil (also OK for cooking) • Expeller-expressed sesame and peanut oils • Expeller-expressed flax oil (in small amounts)

For Fat-Soluble Vitamins

• Fish liver oils such as cod liver oil (preferable to fish oils, which do not provide fat-soluble vitamins, can cause an overdose of unsaturated fatty acids and usually come from farmed fish.)

The following newfangled fats can cause cancer, heart disease, immune system dysfunction, sterility, learning disabilities, growth problems and osteoporosis:

• All hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils
• Industrially processed liquid oils such as soy, corn, safflower, cottonseed and canola
• Fats and oils (especially vegetable oils) heated to very high temperatures in processing and frying.

Exercise of the month: Forward Ball Roll

Start by kneeling in front of a Swiss ball with your forearms just behind the middle centre of the ball. The angle at your hips and shoulders should be the same.

Draw your belly button inwards and hold good alignment with your body and head. Roll forward as you breath in, moving your legs and arms equally so the angle at the shoulder and hips remain equal. As you roll further out, progressively increase the effort used to draw your belly button inwards. Stop at the point just before you lose form. You will feel your lower back drop down when your form breaks. Stop just before this point.

For beginners, go to the finish position and hold for 3 seconds and then return to the start point. Your tempo should be 3 seconds out, 3 seconds hold and 3 seconds return.

As your core strengthens, increase your hold until you can hold statically for 90 seconds with good form.
