We are fat deficient!

A little while ago, I covered how much proteins we should consume on a daily basis. Now I will answer how much fat we need to eat in order to reach optimum health.

Every day, we need to consume 60-70% of our calories in fat. By fat I mean coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, butter, ghee, bacon grease, tallow, cheese, meat, organ meats, fish, and seafood. These are the best options for fat.

More than 98% of Americans are deficient in fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. The reason is that we do not consume enough fats! The work of Dr. Weston Price clearly shows that the healthiest people on the planet are the ones who consume the most fats.

The problem is that we have been told since the 60s that fats are bad for us so people stopped eating as much. Consequently, we have observed a higher incidence of chronic health issues like cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc.

So the key to help reversing health issues is to eat less carbs/sugar and more fats!
