Do we need to eat any fat foods at all?

I’ve been quite strict recently and had only tiny amounts of fat foods. ie just occasional seeds, in very small quantities. I’ve only had one avocado in 3 months.

It’s interesting to experience that my cravings for fat foods and heavy carb’s have gone.

Also, strangely I’ve actually put on a little fat! That could be due to the fact that I’m not exercising as much at the moment. I have done a couple of runs, and considering I’m out of practice due to a forced break, I managed to keep going and do a reasonable time and not conk out on hills. I still run quite slowly though, I have a long way to go before I catch up with Tim VanOrden!

Even more strangely, my skin has actually been feeling slightly oily yet very fresh and clean, a bit like it has a natural moisturiser. So I guess I must be getting more than enough fat from just fruit and greens with the tiniest amount of seeds. The near to ‘zero fat’ experiment seems to be working. It’s not zero fat by the way, as fruit and greens typically contain between 3% and 9% of calories as fat. That is all the fat we need.
