Were you also a victim of the low-fat craze of the 90s?
In this episode, we’re unpacking everything you need to know about fat and weight loss.

Welcome to part three of our macronutrient series. We’ve already tackled carbs and protein, and today we’re diving deep into fat—what it is, what types you should be eating (and avoiding), and how it affects your weight, hormones, hunger, and overall health.

We’re busting myths from the 90s, talking portion sizes, and giving you simple swaps you can make today to stop fearing fat—and actually use it to your advantage.

If you're a busy mom trying to lose weight sustainably without cutting out entire food groups or tracking every bite, this one’s a must-listen. Fat isn't your enemy, and after this episode, you'll know exactly how to eat it in a way that supports your goals.

 

What you’ll learn:
  • Why low-fat became a craze in the 90s and why it didn’t work 
  • The three types of fat (and which ones actually help you lose weight)
  • What to know about saturated fat and seed oils
  • How to sneak healthy fats into your day without going overboard
  • Portion size tips to keep fat from slowing down your weight loss
  • The common mistake moms make with “healthy fats” (and how to fix it)
  • Why fat matters for hormone health, fullness, and brain power
