The term fat scares a lot of people but do we know Fats, in their natural food forms, are the building blocks for our hormones, brain and nerve tissues, protective layers of our cells, help to manage and control inflammation, and help us absorb vital nutrients including vitamin A, D, E and K. Dietary fats, So what do you think are they really that bad?

Study shows that the human body has two primary sources of fuel; carbohydrates and fat. Carbohydrates (or glucose) are the body’s primary source of fuel, while fat is the body’s secondary source of energy. Think of it like a switch, as long as carbohydrates (or glucose) are present in the diet, your body will remain in a carbohydrate burning state, and then it will “flip the switch” and begin to burn fat for fuel. In a balanced state, the body should be able to naturally transition back and forth between using both carbohydrates and fat for fuel, however, (unfortunately) many people struggle to switch back and forth because for many people the master controller of this switch, insulin, is no longer working as it should be.
