How to Lose Weight by Eating More Fat

Conventional wisdom for weight loss says that we should consume fewer calories and less fat to lose weight. Eating less fat runs counter to the dietary traditions of many cultures. Losing weight by eating more fat is more in line with the natural evolution of the human diet.

Step1

Work up an appetite with some moderate exercise, like walking. Weight-bearing workouts that include lifting and stretching are good too. Don’t forget to drink water.

Step2

Avoid coffee and start each day with a nutrient-dense breakfast based on protein and fat. Nitrite-free bacon, free-range eggs and a glass of milk can provide the long-burning energy you need to do your job. With this breakfast, you won’t want to snack on donuts and bagels before lunch.

Step3

Super charge your midday by focusing on protein and fat for lunch. Home made chunky chicken and vegetable soup makes a wonderful noontime meal. If you want something sweet, have an apple for dessert. Eating out? Consider a roast beef sandwich with cheese over a salad soaked in sugary dressing. By avoiding sugar and starchy foods, you’ll also avoid the post-lunch letdown that these foods can cause.

Step4

Work out on the stairs and avoid the elevator at the office during the day. Skip the fast food restaurants on the way home.

Step5

Continue your workout by spending an hour in the garden or working on a project in the garage.

Step6

Finish up your day with salmon and seasonal vegetables flavored with real butter.

Step7

Avoid broadcast television and you won’t be tempted by advertising for unhealthy foods. Watch a movie on DVD instead. Snack on popcorn cooked with coconut oil and flavored with butter and sea salt.

Step8

Turn in early for a good night’s sleep. Your body needs the time to properly digest the food you’ve eaten. In the morning you’ll be refreshed and ready for another day. Over time, you may discover that losing weight by eating more fat is your best long-term strategy for weight and health maintenance.
