Jun 28, 2024
Hello! I'm Dr. Cary Yurkiw, a health coach, marathon runner, health professional, business consultant, and author. At True North Coaching, I’m dedicated to helping you achieve sustainable weight loss through holistic and personalized strategies. Today, I want to focus on an often misunderstood aspect of weight loss: the role of healthy fats. Join me in my upcoming webinar, "Welcome to the Transformative Weight Loss: Strategies for Sustainable Health," on July 4th at 7 PM PT, where we’ll explore this topic in depth.
Why Healthy Fats are Essential for Weight Loss:
1. Provide Long-Lasting Energy Healthy fats are a concentrated source of energy. Unlike carbohydrates, which can cause spikes and drops in blood sugar levels, fats provide a steady source of energy, helping you feel full and energized throughout the day.
2. Enhance Satiety Fats are more calorie-dense than proteins and carbohydrates, which can help you feel fuller for longer. Including healthy fats in your meals can reduce overall calorie intake by curbing hunger and preventing overeating.
3. Support Metabolism Healthy fats are crucial for metabolism. They are necessary for absorbing fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), which are essential for various metabolic processes and overall health.
4. Promote Hormone Balance. Fats are essential for the production and balance of hormones in your body. Hormones play a significant role in regulating metabolism, appetite, and fat storage. Consuming adequate healthy fats can help maintain hormonal balance and support weight loss.
Sources of Healthy Fats: Incorporating a variety of healthy fats into your diet can provide numerous health benefits and support your weight loss journey. Here are some excellent sources of healthy fats:
-
Avocados: Rich in monounsaturated fats, avocados are also a great source of fibre and essential nutrients.
-
Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and fibre.
-
Olive Oil: A staple of the Mediterranean diet, olive oil is high in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants.
-
Fatty Fish: Salmon, mackerel, and sardines are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties.
-
Coconut Oil: Contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that can boost metabolism and provide quick energy.
-
Dark Chocolate: High-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa contains healthy fats and antioxidants.
Tips for Including Healthy Fats in Your Diet:
-
Add Avocado: Incorporate avocado into your salads, smoothies, and toast for a creamy and nutritious boost.
-
Snack on Nuts and Seeds: Keep a mix of nuts and seeds on hand for a quick, satisfying snack.
-
Use Olive Oil: Drizzle olive oil over salads, vegetables, and whole-grain dishes for added flavour and health benefits.
-
Eat Fatty Fish: For a dose of omega-3s, aim to include fatty fish in your meals at least twice a week.
-
Enjoy Dark Chocolate: Treat yourself to a small dark chocolate as a healthy dessert option.
