"Are high-fat diets the secret to burning fat — or just another passing trend?

"You’ve heard it before: ‘Fat doesn’t make you fat.’And while that’s technically true, there’s a catch.
Fat is more than twice as calorie-dense as protein or carbs. So yes — even healthy fats can stall your progress if you’re eating too much."
"So what actually drives fat loss?
It’s not about cutting all carbs or eating tons of fat — it comes down to:
✅ A calorie deficit✅ Prioritizing protein (0.7 to 1 gram per pound of goal body weight)✅ And sticking to a plan that fits your lifestyle
This is why both low-carb and low-fat diets can work — the secret isn’t the macros, it’s the consistency."
"Not all fats are equal. Some types can actually support your health and performance — others, not so much.
The best fat sources include:
Avocados
Extra virgin olive oil
Fatty fish like salmon
Natural nuts and nut butters
These fats support brain function, hormone balance, and reduce inflammation."
"Be more cautious with fats like butter, coconut oil, and heavily processed vegetable oils. They're not inherently bad — but moderation is key.
And the one to always avoid?❌ Trans fats — often hidden in processed foods under names like “partially hydrogenated oils.” These are directly linked to heart disease and should be eliminated completely."
"Let’s talk about saturated fat. It’s not evil — but it's not free game either.
Some people handle it better than others, depending on their cholesterol markers, like LDL-P or apoB.
If you're eating a high-fat diet regularly, consider getting advanced lipid testing to see how your body responds."
"The bottom line? Fat isn’t the enemy. Neither are carbs.
What really matters is:
Your total calorie intake
Your protein intake
And your ability to stay consistent over time
Forget diet extremes — sustainable progress comes from balance."
"If you’re tired of fad diets and conflicting advice, start focusing on what actually works.
Fuel your body with intention. Choose whole foods. Prioritize habits over hacks.And remember — the best diet is the one you can stick to."
