So yesterday i was listening to the Paleo Lifestyle and Fitness podcast with Sarah Fragoso and Jason Seib and a lady asked why she wasnt making regular bowel movements and she described what she was eating. So they said she wasnt ingesting enough fats, and i feel i havnt either. The question is what are a list of healthy fats i can eat.

Yep this or ghee. Or butter if you can handle dairy.

i use it on my skin lol, but usually just use the bacon fat for cooking the eggs, and i use the forman grill for burgers, and i coated the pan for the chicken tenders with coconut oil.

Have you used a tracker of any kind just to see where your macros are?
You might be surprised, and could just be really low on the fat.

Hmm never heard of ghee, and i can handle the dairy...kerrygolds right???

[Ayla2010]

it seems to be the butter people around here use. I can't get that, but use a NZ butter (as far as I am aware all NZ dairy cows are purely grass fed) Hope I got that right!

Ghee is just butter with the milk solids removed. You can do this yourself. Google for instructions.
