2 years ago, I had a time where I was always tired, felt bloated and moody. I have 3 sons all under age 9 and sometimes it gets a bit stressful and draining when I don’t care enough about me.

Fats play a major role in the ketogenic diet. That is a good reason to see which are good for you and your health and which are bad and should be avoided. 60 % of our brain is fat, that's a good reason to have a closer look at the fats you are consuming. 

To stay healthy you need to get Omega 6 and Omega 3 fats. The best sources of fat for your health are: nuts and seeds, like walnuts, macadamia nuts, almonds , pumpkin seeds, chia, sesame, hemp, than the fishes like salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel,  extra virgin olive oil, extra virgin coconut oil/butter. Coconut oil is a saturated fat, but it is actually good for you. A good source of fat are grass fed animals as well. The quality of the meat is really important here- for you and the planet- so go only for grass fed. 

Fats to avoid are: factory farmed animals, transfers, soy oil, saffloweroil, cornoil, canolaoil, restaurant fried foods- because they mostly use soy oil or other bad oils. 

• heat the butter in a pan and fry the onions until golden
• ad the rest of the ingredient and let simmer for 20 minutes
• blend it and taste with pepper, salt and lemon

Have you got trouble with your cholesterol level? Then you need to watch that video on how the ketogenic low carb high fat diet can do wonders to your cholesterol and lower it. 

Healthy fats are not the enemy- they are your friend. What is increasing cholesterol is sugar and carbs. I don't say eat all the fats on the planet, but eat the healthy fats, like avocado, olive oil, fatty fish, meat (grass fed) eggs, nuts and seeds, coconut oil, bone broth, chicken broth. It's all great in lowering your cholesterol- when you pair it with a low carb diet - you are golden.
