How often have you heard people say dont eat any fat if you want to lose weight. Or, "fat is the worst thing you can eat." Up until recently, this has been the norm - people cutting fat out of their diet in order to shed those stubborn lbs.

Without going into great detail, Essential Fatty Acids or EFAs are Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are necessary fats that humans cannot naturally create, and must be obtained through diet. EFAs are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from linolenic, linoleic, and oleic acids. EFAs support the cardiovascular, reproductive, immune, and nervous systems. The human body needs EFAs to manufacture and repair cell membranes, enabling the cells to obtain optimum nutrition and expel harmful waste products.

Men especially need FAT in their diet. Now im not talking about BACON fat here im talking about Fishoil Fat, Peanutbutter Fat, Olive Oil Fat, ETC. You NEED to have fat intake or your testosterone levels lower (hence slow libido)

Like protein and carbohydrates the right fats are vital to insure a well balanced diet and to promote a healthy body. So the next someone gives you dieting advice suggesting you cut out the fat from your diet, kindly remind them that EFAs are essential and even HEALTHY.
