It’s all too common to see clients believe they can ONLY improve their health and/or sports performance by LOWERING their weight - that a lower body fat percentage and improving sports performance and/or health markers are directly connected. Heck, I used to be one of these people!

Dietary fat is one of the three macronutrients that make up our diet. It is an essential part of our nutrition but can be pretty complex to understand. There are so many subgroups of “fat”, that we, as a society, have formed these stigmas or preconceived notions on what is “good” and what is “bad”.

Fats help us make hormones, and they're the most satiating macronutrient - they slow down digestion and keep us full.
