What Are Healthy Fats? - Explained By Dr. Balduzzi

[@baysick11]

Been eating 30% protein, 20% carbs, 50% fat along with intermittent fasting and have lost 50 lbs in 5 months. All my food sources have been healthy, not eating junk, 2000 calories a day

[@nm6818]

Congrats on all that hard work and the weight loss! How do you control your carbs? I started eating heart healthy about three weeks ago. While I am newly eating whole grains, beans, etc., there are still SO MANY carbs in it all. Thanks for your tips and tricks.

[@gregbilser3627]

Really enjoyed the science background to fats - maybe a little more could have been said about trans fats. I absolutely adore oily fish and need no excuse to eat sardines and mackerel! Look forward to your next video.

Thanks for continuously watching Greg! I've added trans fat to our list of videos to create. :) -The FFP Training Staff

Keys to a healthy long life. 1. Eat fermented foods / drinks such as Kefir, and pickles. 2. Eat quality meats that are 100% grass fed and free of growth hormones etc. 3. Eat vegetables everyday. consistency over quantity. 4. Stay as stress free as you can, Avoid conflict and practice yoga or meditation. Enjoy life for what it is and appreciate what we have and try not to focus on what we don't have. Wishing you all the best health.

Thank you for this helpful and informative video! I'm so glad there are actually "healthy" fats, and all the foods you mentioned look great to eat. But I've always been worried about cholesterol levels - do these healthy fats still raise the bad LDL cholesterol levels?

[@Fitfatherproject]

Hi Nicole78, A big part of cholesterol is genetically based, so it's tough to say on an individual basis. But for a rule of thumb: health fats improve cholesterol. A high sugar diet will raise cholesterol.

I've been wondering about these kinds of fat, some say fatty foods are bad, some say its good and recently there is this keto thing. This video explains a lot, know I know which ones to avoid. thank you!

[@BluffMunkey]

I've now removed all vegetable oils from our household apart from olive and coconut. I try and keep olive oil consumption as low as possible as there's still some controversy about the inflammatory aspect of consuming any oils at all. Luckily I have a whole food supplier in the UK where I buy huge bags of mixed organic omega 3 seeds (hemp, chia, flax etc) and avocado's are more readily available than banana's now! I would love to eat more wild salmon but it's very expensive here (I think most of it comes from the Pacific/Alaska so mileage is high to Europe. Luckily we're surrounded by mackerel most of the year!

Ok, had me a little scared there with the ominous music for the intro! This has been enlightening though. I've been under the assumption I was to avoid fats, but I'll stop feeling guilty about my nuts and seeds! :) On the other hand I never actually considered my fish oil to be a fat! I always learn so much on your videos!

[@leftie75]

Sugar is the #1 issue in the American diet and #2 is processed foods, not good fats. Don't fear carbs either. A few years back I did the keto diet but felt it wasn't sustainable due to the extremely low carb intake. Low fat nutrition plans left me with constant cravings. Many people consume too much protein, balance is key. Healthy fat from sources listed in this video with good carbs is the way to go for me. My favorite carbs are sweet potatoes and fruits. Most vegetables have very few carbs and calories so cooking them in a healthy oil is essential for me. Makes them taste great, too. Brussel sprouts are so good when sauteed correctly. There are tutorials on youtube for cooking about anything these days.

Could you elaborate on joint lubrication? My husband’s knees could use the advice. Ty

[@Fitfatherproject]

Hey Jay, thanks for writing in and great question! When we consume healthy fats, like those mentioned in this video, specifically ones higher in Omega 3 Fatty Acids, we have the ability to help reduce inflammation factors in our joints. There is something called Synovial Fluid that helps lubricate our joints and being overweight, inactive, and simple aging can cut down on this protection whereas consuming these healthy fats can help mitigate this problem, keeping our joints healthy. -The FFP Team

[@Reallythere54321]

I eat a lot of healthy fat! Maybe like 50%. Almonds, avocado, eggs, cashews, but I’m still in a caloric deficit. Can eating a lot of healthy fats make me fat?

[@Fitfatherproject]

Eating too much fat (even the healthy kind) can be bad for you. Make sure you're getting enough protein and carbs in your diet too! -The FFP Training Staff

[@Davion_savant]

Any high fiber keto gluten free vegan healthy fats ?

[@shotokantiger1024]

Thanks for your valuable information doctor, but as you said vegetable oils are not good so what is your say on a healthy cooking oil?

[@Fitfatherproject]

Avocado oil is great when cooking with high heat, like the oven. Coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil are good substitutes when cooking with lower heat. -The FFP Training Staff

[@shotokantiger1024]

Great, I guess avocado oil is not common here.

[@Fitfatherproject]

Hey Matt, thanks for writing in and great question. Unfortunately, Rapeseed oil is a little higher on the Omega-6 end, which isn't bad in a vacuum. However, most of our diets are out of wack and our ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 is all off. For a list of oils we prefer, check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ6cl3mbmJ6ZjsU -The FFP Team

[@Fitfatherproject]

Hey David, thanks for writing in and great question! Peanut Oil has some redeeming qualities being higher in Vitamin E and monounsaturated fats though it is higher in Omega 6s and our standard diet is quite high in Omega 6s. And too much O6 can lead to inflammation. For other alternatives, you can find great info here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ6cl3mbmJ6ZjsU -The FFP Team

is naturally occurring tans fat such what's found in beef or cheese okay?

[@Fitfatherproject]

Hey Adam, thanks for writing in and great question! Trans fat can be classified into natural and artificial. The Trans fat found from beef/dairy is natural and is not as harmful as the artificial Trans fat found in baked goods, for example. The latter is definitely one to stay away from while the former is more OK in moderation. -The FFP Team

Parts of this were incredibly informative, however, I understand everyone needs to make money but the fact that you said “you do not need to worry about calories” is extremely concerning, also I hope you are an actual doctor and did not just buy scrubs and wore a stethoscope just to look more credible.

[@Fitfatherproject]

@Radarada - I am indeed an actual Doctor. My wording around not needing to worry about calories is focused at our core demographic, where many of our audience need to lose 50-100 lbs. At that stage, portion control is a much easier approach to take than worrying about strict calorie and/or macro monitoring. We use a method at the FFP called the Perfect Plate, where portions of Protein, Carbs, Veggies, and healthy Fats are suggested for 3 main meals and 1 snack if necessary. This works very well for a majority of our audience and takes away the stress of monitoring calories.
