Fats Explained

Dietary fat has swung from one extreme to the other, and it's hard to get the truth these days...

First fat was blamed for health issues. Then it was praised as the answer to everything. Neither view holds up well when you look at how the body actually works.

Fats play a role. They are not something to fear or something to chase.

Fats matter because they support hormone production, steady energy levels, and overall health. They also help meals feel satisfying, which can make nutrition easier to manage across the day.

The problems usually start when intake swings too far in either direction.

Below is what actually matters with fats.

1. Fats support hormone function. Dietary fats are involved in hormone production and regulation. Very low fat intake over time can affect how the body functions, especially during higher stress or heavy training phases. Balance matters here more than precision.

2. Fats help stabilize energy. Meals that include some fat tend to digest more slowly. This can help keep energy steadier between meals rather than spiking and crashing. Too much fat can slow digestion too much. Too little can leave meals feeling incomplete.

3. Fats improve meal satisfaction. Fat adds texture and flavor to food. Meals that feel satisfying are easier to repeat consistently. When fat is removed entirely, people often compensate later without realizing it.

4. Extremes create issues. Very high fat intake can crowd out protein and carbs that support training and recovery. Very low fat intake can affect hormones and overall health. Neither extreme works well long term.

5. Fat intake works best as part of the whole picture. Fats do not need special timing. They do not need strict rules. They need to fit within overall intake alongside protein and carbs in a way that supports your training and lifestyle.

   
   

Fat does not need micromanaging. Use it intentionally. Let it support meals rather than dominate them.
