Eat for the body your want
😘💪🏻
This is lettuce, tomato, red bell pepper, cucumber, avocado, shrimp, and balsamic vinegar!
If I didn’t use the avocado I would’ve added olive oil, you DO want good fat on your salad because it helps your body absorb the nutrients from the veggies 😘
Some examples of good fats:
- Avocados! They are rich in monounsaturated fats wich raise levels of good cholesterol while lowering the bad.
- Grass fed butter. REAL butter has omega 3 fatty acids that are great for brain function and improve skin health!
- Ghee has similar benefits as butter, but it’s lactose and casein free.
- Raw/unsalted nuts and seeds
- Coconut oil. Great for brain and memory function, increases good cholesterol and promotes heart health! Make sure to buy extra virgin since refined can eliminate many of it’s health benefits.
- Olive oil (make sure it’s extra virgin. If it’s labeled as light, pure, or a blend, it’s not good quality. EVOO isn’t recommended for cooking at high temperatures because it has a low smoke point, so it’s great for salad dressing!
- Omega 3 fatty acids (found in wild caught salmon or sardines)
Many people add BAD fats to their salads. Some examples of bad fats: fried chicken, creamy dressing, bacon bits, etc. Your body NEEDS fat–just make sure to pick the right stuff!
Nutrition is KEY when it comes to weight loss–so make sure that you eat for the body you want!
