Myths #1 Fat makes you fat
Myth - “Fat makes you fat.”
Truth - Healthy fats support hormone production, brain function, and satiety. It’s the type and context of fat that matters, not fat itself.
WHY this myth is wrong:
This myth came from outdated science in the 1980s and 90s that blamed dietary fat for obesity and heart disease.
In reality, eating fat doesn’t directly translate to gaining fat on your body. Your body stores fat when there’s a consistent calorie surplus—especially from processed carbs, sugars, and low-quality fats, not from healthy fats alone.
Healthy fats (like those from avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and fatty fish) are essential for-
- Hormone production (like estrogen and testosterone)
- Brain and nerve function
- Absorbing fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K)
- Keeping you full and satisfied after meals
What leads to fat gain is overeating refined carbs and poor-quality fats together, not moderate intake of healthy fats.
HOW (1 Simple Tip):
Add ½ an avocado to your lunch or dinner to support fullness and stabilize your blood sugar.
