A nutritious eating plan doesn't mean cutting out all fat , just focusing on healthier varieties. Eat nuts, seeds, and fatty fish 🐟 that are high in omega 3 fatty acids, like wild-caught salmon and sardines. These foods, as well as plant oils like olive 🫒 and avocado 🥑, are good sources of unsaturated fat – a healthier fat option. ✅ Limit saturated fat: ⛔️ Build meals around protein foods that are naturally low in saturated fat such as beans, peas, and lentils, as well as soy foods, skinless chicken, seafood, and lean meats. Avoid trans-fat: ❌ Trans-fat is often added to highly-processed foods, such as deep-fried food, baked foods, and pastries. Please check out our link in BIO to learn more!
