Eat Monounsaturated Fats-Not Saturated Fats


A new study listed in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, found that if you consume foods high in saturated fat, (beef, butter, full fat dairy products) our brains signal our bodies NOT to feel satiated, which can last for about 3 days.  In contrast, the study found that eating the heart healthy monounsaturated fats (olive oil, nuts, edamame & avocado) have the opposite effect and makes us feel fuller faster.  This sounds similar to the effect High-fructose Corn Syrup has on our satiety factor!  This is more evidence that we can help control our brains and bodies by what we eat.  More and more I am convinced that "Eating Clean" is the way to go.  Read more about eating clean at: http://www.eatclean.com/
