A World of GOOD PHATS
We have always been great believers in good fats, especially when the alternative is full of vegetable oils or low-fat spreads. When we visit the butchers, we opt for the fuller cuts, specifically asking that the fat not be trimmed from the meat we buy. When it comes to meat, we always make sure to buy from our local farmers and farm shops.
Supermarket meats underwent a definite change, with most cuts (like steaks and roasting joints) pre-trimmed of excess outer fat to appeal to health-conscious consumers. But cutting out fat entirely, eating only "fat-free" foods, is detrimental to your health. Your body needs healthy fats for energy, cell growth, hormone production, and absorbing vitamins (A, D, E, K). Processed "fat-free" foods often replace fat with sugar, starch, and additives, which can lead to metabolic issues.
When we discovered GOOD PHATS at IFE in April, we became a little obsessed, especially with their compressed air avocado oil. If you are tired of the dribble when spraying your oil, GOOD PHATS certainly have the stamina to achieve an even coating.
We are on a mission to make health a tasty pursuit. Fat. It wasn't always a priority in our house. In fact, we used to (like almost everyone out there) think it was the enemy - low-fat yoghurt, anyone? We were led to believe that it was the reason for the increase in the world's poor metabolic health. How wrong were we?
Fast forward to my 40s, when I was diagnosed with being pre diabetic, and a good mate of mine, Ben, told me to try cutting out carbs and go KETO. Eating fat to lose fat didn't make sense. But once I got my head around it, I managed to not only reverse my diabetes (in less than 3 months), I also lost 42kg in under 18 months.
This is when fat became everything to me, and I started to take note of the poor quality fats out there.
GOOD PHATS
The GOOD PHATS range includes Avocado Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, British Grass-Fed Beef Tallow, and British Grass-Fed Ghee. So far, we have only tried the Spanish Light Avocado Oil spray, but if it is a measure of their quality, we are looking forward to exploring the rest of their range.
