Grab a cup ‘o Joe and share what’s on your mind for an hour on this TUESDAY, JULY 8.
High-fat diet not only could put extra weight on you, it is detrimental to your physical health and contributes to heart diseases, cancer, stroke.
However, in every situation there are exceptions. Life is full of them, isn’t it? There are certain types of fat that are good for you and contribute to digestion of some fat-soluble vitamins like A, D and K.
The key is to focus on foods that have MONO-UN-SATURATED and POLY-UN-SATURATED fats. Eliminate all TRANS and SATURATED fats from your diet!
Let’s give a quick cheer to the foods that bring health to your entire bodily system!

AM COFFEE – Sign In! HELLO, Everyone!
– Is your current diet full of fatty foods?
– What are your some of most favorite Fatty Foods?
– What are you doing, if anything, to reduce the number of fatty foods in your diet?
Good Morning ladies. Yes, I eat way too many fatty foods. Ice cream is my downfall. I’m getting better though. These conversations really help.
Mmmmm….ice cream. And it’s so easy to over eat too.
Good morning all. I would say my favorite fatty food is pork. I hardly eat pork anymore so when I do it is a treat. I am tempted by the commercial I seen this morning about the Apple wood pulled pork sub at Subway. At least I get no mayo or dressing on my subs. 🙂
Good morning we eat a lot of pizza and I love my sweets
lol…we just had pizza buffet today. Woopsie.
Good Morning, I have to say my diet is horrendous and at 50 that is bad
Morning everyone I have recently changed my diet. I am trying stay away from processed, sugary foods.
good morning I will say I have been doing a whole lot better with all the information I have learned I will say love fried foods but have cut back and keep away from processed foods and add yourgert to my diet and more fruits
Good afternoon everyone! I try to keep a good balance of fats in our diet. I love the good fats in avocados, nuts, and olives. I don’t fry many foods, and when I do, I use olive oil.
Happy Tuesday everyone! I have a horrible diet right now. It just habit and laziness. I am really trying to jump start my own personal eating habits. My son eats so healthy it’s ridiculous. I just need to eat what I make him eat.

AVOCADOS
Translated as “butter pears”, avocados are some of the most fat-filled foods. However, MONO-UN-SATURATED fats that are inside this fruit are Heart healthy!
One medium avocado boasts of about 30 grams of fat. Eating it with salsa and salads is something we should attempt doing. Moderation is good for everything and at all times. But we gotta make time and effort for foods that bring us delicious flavors and health.
Does it count if I put it in my concoction for my face? It is great for the skin.
I love avocados. I still don’t really understand the difference between “good” fat and “bad” fat…
It has to do with the way the fats effect your body….what your body does with them.
I bought an avocado yesterday to have on my sandwich today.
not a big fan of them
Karen,
I disliked avocados for so many years! Then, there was a switch!
well I don’t care for them just by themselves but I do eat them if they are in something
Not a fan either. If I even accidentally eat a little lets say in a 7 layer dip I have a gag attack. lol I’m a big sissy.
I love them in salads, tossed into stir fries when I take it out of the skillet, on sandwiches, and of course in guacamole. They’re great added in pasta salad and potato salad too.
I’ll have to try it in stir fry for my 2 loves.
I really wish I could even stand avocados. I cannot even bare the smell of it. Good thing though is my hunny bunny and my son love them.
EGGS
Many people opt out to go with the egg whites, avoiding a healthier option –> a whole egg. Obviously you gotta be reasonable how many eggs you consume per day. But having an egg a day or two is OK to get the amazing benefits and add to the Wholesome diet we are arranging for ourselves.
Look at some benefits of an Egg!
– One whole egg contains 5 grams of fat, but only 1.5 grams are saturated.
– Whole eggs are also a good source of choline (one egg yolk has about 300 micrograms of choline), an important B vitamin that helps regulate the brain, nervous system and cardiovascular system.
– And while there’s a lot of buzz about the cholesterol in eggs, research has linked moderate egg consumption to improved heart health.
We love eggs and eat them all the time
I’ve heard they are good for you and that they are bad. I’m not an egg eater anyway. My kids love them.
We eat eggs often but not too much. Moderation…moderation.
I grow up eating eggs when I was little. I love scrambled eggs with milk.
we eat our eggs a lot around here we make sure they are in our diet
Eggs are one of the most versatile foods in our diet. There is no limit to the way they can be used.
We love love love eggs. I wish they weren’t so messed with here in the US. I prefer a fresh farm egg with a nice deep yellow yolk. Hard boiled, over medium, scrambled with corn tortillas, omelettes…..so many yummy ways to eat them.
NUTS & NUT BUTTER
A small handful of healthy nuts a day could be a game changer how you feel and how your entire systems are functioning.
Your most healthiest nut options are: Almonds, Walnuts and Pistachios.
– Almonds are riches in Vitamin E
– Walnuts are rich in plant-based Omega-3 fatty acid –> think heart, cardiovascular systems, eyes
-Pistachios are rich in Lutein and Zeaxantin –> think eye health!
When it comes to comparing different nuts in fat content, Pistacios are the healthiest. But do remember to include a variety to get the most benefit for your health.
Pistachios: you get 49 pieces per serving in 1 oz compared to 23 almonds adn 14 walnut halves.
NUT Butter
When you make your own butter, it is the best way to go. Whole Foods has the machines that would make Any nut butter while you’re standing there! Go for it and indulge yourself in a spoonful a day!
I love all 3 of these. Nuts are a great snack. Mix in some dried fruit and yum.
Yeah…..in a great trail mix. Mmmm
that’s great I love Pistachios and I just started to add the rest to my diet to they have great benefits
I love all kinds of nuts. They are one of my favorite snacks.
This is one food I don’t have to be reminded to eat lol. I love all kinds of nuts. I’ve started adding them to stir fries to get hubby to eat them. Love that added crunch.
Another great stir fry idea I got today!
Love me some pistachios and almonds. They are so expensive you have to eat them in moderation! lol I have never thought to make my own nut butter. I’ll have to look into it.
FATTY FISH
The fatty fish brings the most health benefits when it comes to Omega-3 DHA. There’s no serving suggestion of how much of Omega-3 DHA you should consume. But you gotta do it DAILY!
Amazing benefits – and especially accumulated with time health benefits – would change your life. If you cannot have fish from the reputable sources, go for the Omega-3 DHA supplements. Do it Daily! Start with Today!
Here are the Fatty Fish that you should aim for:
– Salmon
– Lake Trout
– Lake Herring
– Mackerel
– Sardines
– Tuna
I take a omega supplement, I don’t eat fish except tuna. My husband and son love salmon.
oh we get our share of fish in this family we are fishing ppl and we go fishing a lot I make the best homemade salmon patty and they are so good we eat all kinds of fish
I love salmon patties, Karen! I think you just decided what we’re having for supper! lol
I love Lake trout. Luckily we have plenty of lakes here to fish in.
I’m not big on a lot of fish, but love salmon and tuna. Hubby loves all kinds of fish, so we have it fairly often. I did remember to buy Omega supplements due to a previous post here.
I started taking an Omega supplement also. Mega Red or something to that nature.
No thank you. I’ve tried and tried and tried fish and just cannot do it. And my hunny works at a fish restaurant so he is sick of it by the time he gets home.
OLIVE OIL
Mediterranean diet has olive oil as one of the staples and is considered one of the heart-healthy diets on the planet.
Olive oil in moderation is one of the great sources of oils for cooking: fresh salads and cooking.
A study published in Neurology found that using olive as mentioned above may cut stroke risk.
Opt for Organic options and Extra Virgin options to get the most benefit.
I use olive oil in most of my cooking. I love it.
I have been using olive oil for about 10 yrs now the food is always taste better and it is good for us
I love cooking with olive oil. I learned a long time ago it was healthier for you,.
Hubby’s heart specialist told us to switch to evoo and I love the little extra flavor it adds. Now if I could just get him to eat a vinaigrette on his salads!
Love cooking with olive oil. And I’ve learned a few great dressing options using this as a base. Which is big considering I’m a huge ranch fan.
To Lose Weight – Express Your Sensual Self
Please comment there on the post your thoughts and ideas! Thank you!
Wow this article is an eye opener. We are so consumed with daily life we forget to enjoy the simple pleasures. Thanks for reminding us.
I have never though of it that way the article is but it makes so much sense in anything you want to change for yourself. Thanks for sharing that. New way of thinking. Can even use that for lessening stress by how you think. 🙂
I was the too busy person for years, losing myself in the process. I was given a book as a gift and it changed everything for me. I not only got back to my ‘sensual’ self, being aware of all my senses, I learned to count my blessings more and appreciate things around me. I didn’t need to lose weight, but I definitely needed to be more aware of my health- both mental and physical.
I absolutely love this, One of the best things I’ve read about self and losing weight. Struck a cord with me more. I really connected with YOUR WEIGHT AND YOUR SENSUALITY ARE CONNECTED. It really is. I started gaining weight and loosing happiness (in a sense) when I got sick, had surgery, lost my job…..just lost myself completely. Today I wasn’t feeling “good” but forced myself to take a relaxing shower, breath in the steam, enjoy the scent of my body wash, feel the warmth of the water on my back. And you know what? I had a good day. I got more things done, felt accomplished, thought more about tomorrow and was not just stuck in my usual depression of the day. This was meant for me to read today.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day. I’m off to do my treadmill.
@Wendy enjoy you day you all have a super day me to off to get in a work out
I try to eat healthy most days. Thank you for this awesome info.
