Today, it is still possible to get happy food from happy animals by visiting your local farm shop, where their animals roam free, are pasture fed and allowed to live a full and happy life.

Right! Now to get back to the good saturated fat. I know what you’re thinking…fat will make me fat, I’ll get high blood pressure and possibly heart problems. This is not the case at all!

Good saturated fat comes from: whole milk, double cream, butter, cheese, eggs, mayonnaise, red meat, poultry, pork, game, the fat and skin on meat, lard and beef dripping. These products provide a good, natural source of saturated fat, that do not breakdown into bad fats, with exception of cheese, which does breakdown into bad fat when cooked at high temperatures, so just add it at the end of cooking.

Good saturated fat is your body’s protector. From head to toe, it galvanises your bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and neuro-fibres, making you stronger, giving you more sustained energy and making you less susceptible to germs and viruses.

The view in the public domain is that saturated fat is detrimental to your health and can cause problems with your heart.  There is no actual proof to confirm this, as saturated fat has been made a scapegoat for coronary heart disease (CHD).  Blaming saturated fat for CHD and other health problems, is like blaming the Fire Service for the fire that they have come to put out; they have come to help you, not to make the situation worse!

I am a Personal Trainer and Nutritional Advisor. I live on good saturated fat and recommend this to my clients, whom have lost lots of weight, have more energy and better overall well-being. My mother, whom has angina, lives on the same nutrition as myself. She also has lost alot of weight and not had an angina attack in 20 months. But in theory, according to popular belief in the media, eating more saturated fat she should have made her seriously ill, which has not been the case.
