Eating Healthy Fats For PCOS Weight Loss

A lot of people who are looking to lose weight have this idea that all fat is bad, which is nothing but a misconception.
On the surface this is understandable, as anyone looking to lose weight wants to cut calories, and fat is obviously a source of calories. Many people assume that the calories from fat are particularly bad for losing weight and so then they typically drop out all fat from what they eat. It is far more healthful and sustainable to actually lose weight with eating healthy fats as part of an overall weight loss plan and not just eliminate all fat entirely from your diet.
For success with losing that stubborn weight caused from PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), eating a modest amount of healthy fats is more likely to lead to the desired goal of shedding those unwanted pounds. Not only are healthy fats good for losing pounds, but your body uses healthy fats to make hormones, to repair your nervous system, and to keep the digestive tract and your skin healthy.
It is important to eliminate unhealthy fats and instead focus on those fats that are healthy for you. Fats that you want to completely avoid or eliminate if you are really looking to optimize your weight loss with PCOS are trans-fats, hydrogenated fats, hydrogenated vegetable oils, margarine, lard, and fat back. These kinds of fats are a disaster and for PCOS can cause even more of a problem with hormone balance. If you prepare your own food be sure to read labels so that you don’t add these things in. You need to constantly keep on top of the ingredients you put into your food.
