The hidden ingredient making you store fat...

Good morning,
Did you know that certain fats are designed by nature to make you store weight—just like a squirrel preparing for winter?
The culprit? PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids).
why pufas make you fat
PUFAs trigger fat storage in mammals, including humans. But it’s not just the natural sources you need to worry about—modern processed foods are loaded with them.
Seed oils like:
Canola oil
Soybean oil
Corn oil
These oils are nearly 50% PUFA and often contain harmful chemicals like hexane, which contributes to inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and excess fat storage.
what should you eat instead?
Swap seed oils for:
Olive oil
Avocado oil
Coconut oil
Butter, ghee, and tallow
These healthier fats are more stable and don’t trigger the same fat-storage response.
Also, opt for pasture-raised meats—they contain far fewer PUFAs than grain-fed options.
Watch my video here for more details on how to remove PUFAs from your diet.
To your best health,
