Benefits Of A High-Protein Diet

Healthy Fats

Many of us have spent a lot of time being afraid of consuming fat, holding onto the idea eating fat will make us fat. Luckily for us, the opposite is true. In fact, certain fats are essential for a well-balanced diet. Nutritionists suggest eating avocados, butter or ghee, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, omega-3s from fish, nuts and seeds, eggs (with the yoke), grass-fed organic beef, MCT oil, full-fat dairy, and last but not least, dark chocolate. Yes, you read that right — dark chocolate.

The key thing to remember is although we are the same species, we all have individual body makeups and nutritional needs. What suits one person may not suit another. It’s about finding a balance that works for you. However, if your goal is to ditch the strict guidelines of fad diets and change your body for good, the high-protein lifestyle might be for you.
