4 Fatty Foods You Should Be Eating - Diets And Weight Loss by HealingHealth07: 6:12pm On Feb 28, 2017
Let's overcome the fear of fat once and for all. Fatty foods have been so demonized that people started eating more processed carbs and this has made the world full of unhealthy fat people. Do you feel bad whenever you munch on any fatty food as you try to watch your weight? Not to worry, recent studies now show that there are some foods with saturated fat which are not just safe to eat, but are also encouraged to be eaten. Check this out:

• Whole eggs
So you′ve been told to avoid egg yolk (that yellowish stuff) as it can lead to high cholesterol levels. Well that’s not the whole story. It is true that the egg yolk contains 71% of our daily intake, but it does not in any way affect your blood cholestrol level. Infact, it is one of the most nutrient dense ″edibles” on earth. They contain powerful antioxidants which attack free radicals and stem aging. Eggs are also a weight loss friendly food. They are very fulfilling and high in protein, the most important nutrient for weight loss
The best eggs are omega-3 enriched. Just don’t throw away the yolk, that’s where almost all the nutrients are found.
• Coconut
These are highly nutritious and of course tasty. But did you know coconuts can aid in effective weight-loss? Coconut fats are actually different than most other fats, and consist largely of medium-chain fatty acids. These fatty acids digest differently unlike other fats. Though coconuts have the highest concentration of saturated fats in the world, it does help in losing weight.

• Avocadoes
Most fruits primarily contain carbohydrates, avocados are loaded with fats. In fact, avocados are about 77% fat, by calories, making them even higher in fat than most animal foods.
The main fatty acid is a monounsaturated fat called oleic acid. This is also the predominant fatty acid in olive oil, associated with various health benefits.

Avocados are among the best sources of potassium in the diet, even containing 40% more potassium than bananas, a typical high potassium food.

They’re also a great source of fiber, and studies have shown that they can lower bad cholesterol, while raising the good cholesterol levels.

Even though they are high in fat and calories, one study shows that people who eat avocados tend to weigh less and have less belly fat than those who don′t.
• Fatty Fish
Oily fish like sardines, salmon and trout are quite healthy for the body. This is because they contain omega-3 fatty acids, known to help boost heart health. It's one of the best ways to get the essential fat. The American Heart Association recommends eating at least two servings weekly to get the best benefits. Studies show that people who eat fish tend to be much healthier, with a lower risk of heart disease, depression, dementia and all sorts of common diseases.
So you see, you can still have a feel of the good life with a healthy life-style. You can also add to your list of fat-fighting foods the winning fat-buster. Try it now!
