misshannah Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I didn't think I'd post one of these because I was sure I know everything ha ha! However, I notice that every conversation around fats, healthy fats, good fats, or mods recommending to add fats to your meals, etc, all seem to only mention vegetable/plant fats or ghee. I try to get the highest quality meats I can, and when I know it's pastured meat I eat the heck out of some animal fats. Like, crispy chicken skin, fatty steak or carnitas etc. Since animal fats are rarely mentioned, should I be focusing more on the plant fats and avoid animal fats for best results? I don't avoid fats at all and I know that they make the difference between success and failure for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babsie95 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 As I understand it animal fats are great (as long as the source is healthy) just as long as the amount of fat in a meal is enough in total. The main thing to look for would be if your meals are keeping you full 4-5 hours. I would think that you could probably enjoy your chicken skin and some avocado too. Maybe others will weigh in as well :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slc_melissa Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I see tallow, lard, and animal fats mentioned often. Bacon is a fat. It's probably convenience - it's easier for to find a can of olives than a pad of duck fat at the store. But, yeah, animal fats are great, especially if sourced well. https://whole30.com/2016/04/animal-oils-4/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
