When you eat fat it increases the thermos in your body which is known as thermogenisis. This is the process of heat production in organisms. Valerie Berkowitz and Dr. Sally Byrd reminded us of this welcomed reality during our radio show. Eating fat, trans fat excepted, along with some low-sugar carbs will drive your furnace to burn calories and help you lose weight. Side note: for the best results, eat twice as many Omega 3 fats (fish, walnuts, avocadoes, legumes, berries, peas, flaxseeds, dark green vegetables …) as Omega 6 fats (corn, soy, corn oil, safflower oils & seeds, primrose oil, sesame oil & seeds, nuts, meat …) Most Americans are eating a 14 to 20 – 1 ratio – reason why so many are obese and sick. Make the right fat decisions. Reference The Stubborn Fat Fix for help. For more, listen to “Eat Fat? Yes or No.” on iTunes.

… for the health of your family,
