Eat healthy fats rich in essential fatty acid (EFA) Omega 3 which is so necessary for nerve cell function, cell membrane production and healthy hair, teeth and nails eg like salmon, mackerel, avocado (*1/3 per day max), nuts and seeds.

 

Another key point here:  If we don’t eat enough EFAs, the body won’t readily use stored fat when we exercise. Aim for a thumb of healthy fat at each meal.

 

Reduce saturated fats (red meat, butter, milk, cheese) opting for mono- and poly-unsaturated fats but watch you don’t overeat as calorie content is high (9 calories/g).
