There are many benefits of reducing dietary fat (and sugar) for certain health concerns that can also benefit most everyone else too. Dietary fat isn’t the enemy, but it’s not the macronutrient you want to overdo either. Focus on what sources of dietary fat you’re eating before you worry with amounts. The best fat sources of fat come from raw nuts, raw seeds, plain raw nut butters, avocados, coconut or coconut oil, small amounts of olive oil, wild fish, and very small amounts of organic, cage-free eggs. Consider some of the health concerns below to see if you could benefit from reducing your dietary intake and don’t hesitate to start right away!

Cholesterol
One of the biggest benefits of reducing dietary fat is you limit your sources of unhealthy cholesterol. Focus on plant-based fats to automatically lower unhealthy fat levels without counting grams since only animal foods contain cholesterol. If you do choose to eat animal products, reduce the amounts and choose lean sources.

Diabetes
It’s not necessary to eat a fat-free diet, but reducing dietary fat can help improve insulin levels. Make sure your fats come from a healthy source - not from red meat, butter, cheese, dark meat poultry or whole milk and cream. Choose better options such as raw nuts, raw seeds, avocados, olive oil, and coconut products.

Obesity
While going fat-free can slow your metabolism, reducing your dietary fat can actually increase your metabolism if you suffer from obesity. The body’s leanest source of fuel is protein, vegetables, and low-glycemic carbohydrates. Fat contains more calories per gram than protein or carbohydrates, so keep it under 30 grams a day if you suffer from obesity.

Binge Eating Disorder
Binge eating disorder is one of the most prevalent eating disorders among women and men today. Also known as BED, this disorder is also one of the hardest to stop due to how certain foods affect the brain and addictive eating. Fatty foods and sugary foods both trigger opiates in the body that act like morphine to an addict, making them prime trigger foods for BED. The best way to balance brain chemistry that triggers BED is to eat a protein-based, low-glycemic, and plant-rich diet.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
Heart Disease
Unhealthy dietary fats clog arteries that contribute to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and obesity, so monitoring your intake is a wonderful way to lower your risk symptoms all through your diet.

Joint Pain
Certain dietary fats are very inflammatory, such as vegetable oils like corn and soy-based oils. Even roasted nut butters and roasted nuts are inflammatory since the fats in these are rancid and acidic to the body. Reduce your intake of these fats and opt for more joint-friendly fats such as salmon, tuna, avocados, raw nuts and seeds, raw coconut, and olive oil instead.
Counting calories isn’t necessary for anyone, but it’s never a bad idea to reduce your dietary fat intake if you have one or more of the concerns above.Have you ever had to reduce your dietary fat intake for a health concern?
