Almonds and walnuts in particular contain good amounts of healthy fatty acids AS WELL AS good amounts of protein, vitamins, and fiber...all very necessary for healthy weight gain! The fats in fatty fish are some of the best fats for a healthy body, not to mention fatty fish is high in protein. Avocados and olives are also good sources of healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins. If you want to seriously do your heart good, gain healthy weight, and keep lean muscle mass, eat your healthy fats in whole food form!Roxanne Rieskenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-12740109992516333672011-03-12T10:51:55.701-08:002011-03-12T10:51:55.701-08:00I also post your newest article link weekly to my ...I also post your newest article link weekly to my Facebook page hoping it will inspire others interested to join!QuincyCarolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15340316315018901555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-9583084459377900212011-03-12T09:46:15.889-08:002011-03-12T09:46:15.889-08:00Anonymous,

Inclusion of fats as you describe is healthy and appropriate!<br /><br />Cate,<br />Many of the tub spreads are now trans-fat free and lower in saturated fat compared to butter, so those are still the healthier choice. From a weight stand point, it doesn't matter.<br /><br />Anna,<br />Don't worry about "too much" of these healthy fats if your overall intake supports your weight in a healthy range.<br /><br />Quincy Carole,<br />So glad you are enjoying these posts.<br /><br />All I ask, is that you spread the word so it makes my time feel well spent!

I am trying to restore weight and eat foods that are not refined or overly processed. This means for me foods with few ingredients and foods that are closely associated to the land, such as nuts, seeds, beans, fruits, and unrefined carbohydrates. I am also a vegetarian. These past few days I feel I have been having too many fats in comparison to the other food groups. For example, I just had 1/2 of an avocado for lunch with fruits, vegetables, beans, and brown rice cakes. I also eat a a lot of nut butters throughout the day. I am not sure if all this fat is going to help me reach my ultimate goal: restore lean weight in a healthy way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-27933720937765135662011-03-12T03:36:43.144-08:002011-03-12T03:36:43.144-08:00I admit I do eat a very low fat diet, but have rec...I admit I do eat a very low fat diet, but have recently switched from margarine to spreadable butter because I thought this was a more 'natural' choice (simply contains cream and canola oil - no colours, flavours, preservatives or 'numbers'). <br />Was this then the wrong thing to do? Is it in fact a healthier option to go with margarine? (I'm sitting here checking the numbers and the margarine I was using has 18.2% saturated fat vs 40.9% for the butter) - based on this, and since this is the spread I use for my whole family, it would be a better choice to swtich back I'm assuming. <br />It's all very complicated!Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738366255343185057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-3120895414728787802011-03-12T00:04:51.178-08:002011-03-12T00:04:51.178-08:00Thanks for this article.

For example, right now I can only handle eating almonds. I am recovering from my 4th year of bulimia/anorexia and also over exercising, and right now I am trying to restore my weight. My question is, is consuming too much non-saturated fats healthy? The other day I realized I stepped over my fat limit, I had about 2 full servings of almonds, used coconut oil for my stir fry twice (I dont know if youve looked at the label but a serving of coconut oil is about 60% of your daily saturated fat) and a serving of salmon. Unfortunately the trigger was too unbearable and I relapsed. I regret relapsing and wished that I would just trust my body! Sorry this was kind of a long reply! -AnnaAnnanoreply@blogger.com
