Hi there Kelly Jean,

Yes, it does seem scary to be eating this much fat after all the brainwashing we've heard about low fat. But research shows that fat is only harmful when eaten with starches and/or sugars.

You should be aiming at having about 70% of your calories as fat. It is virtually impossible to eat too much fat - the body has a built in system of losing the extra fat. If ever I am constipated, eating more fat does the trick!

If you look at this previous thread, Confused and Scared to Eat Fat, there's a good explanation of it all.

Cheers.

Rosebud
