For the last couple of months, I have changed up my eating habits a bit.  I’ve read some research about good fats, and the benefits of adding them into your diet.  Twenty to thirty years ago, there was a big anti-fat revolution.  Scientists are starting to find out that this was incorrect.  Eating fat doesn’t necessarily make you fat.  It’s sugar that is the main culprit in our current obesity epidemic.

I’ve added nuts, seeds, olive oil, and avocados into my diet (not diet as in dieting, diet as in what I eat).  I keep a bag of raw, unsalted sunflower seeds on my dresser for quick snacking.  I add almonds to my breakfast cereal.  We are cooking with olive oil more often.  I take a teaspoon of olive oil every evening.  We’ve incorporated more avocados into our dinners.  Here’s what I’ve found in the last two months:  I’m not as hungry between meals.  I have even lost some weight around my middle.  My skin is softer, and not as dry this winter.

Try adding some good fats into your diet.  If your experience is like mine, you won’t regret it.
