Carbs vs. Fat- A Look at Coconut Oil

In the ever-continuing battle to overcome the "fat is bad" mentality, this post goes into a little more depth about what fat and carbs break down to in our bodies. And the answer is not a simple one is bad, one is good. However, getting over the "fat is bad, I must eat low-fat foods" hurdle with most of my clients, which they get honestly from the slew of "health food" advertising and mind-washing rhetoric by the old-school nutrition industry that makes beaucoup bucks off of supplements and modified foods, is not an easy one.

Eureka!
