Fat is needed for the cellular membrane, brain, nervous system, hormones, creation of bile, and all the different chemical reactions do require certain amounts of fats. The different sources of omega-3 fatty acids would also be discussed. Fats: • Fat-soluble Vitamins – Vitamin A, D, E, and K • EFA • Omega-3 Fatty Acids – DHA and EPA Best Sources of Omega-3: • Seafood / Fatty Fish – Sardines, Oysters, Salmon, Tuna, High Quality Fish Oil (Virgin Cod Liver Oil) • Eggs – Pasture-raised • Dairy and Meats from Grass-fed Animals – Has 4x the amount of Omega-3 than the grain-fed • Flax –Has certain types of fat that has to be converted into DHA • Walnut –Contains omega-3 and some fats have to be converted • Algae I have a question, are you getting the right amount of fats on a ketogenic plan? You need fat for cellular membranes all the cell have the outer membrane of fat, you need fat for the brain, the nervous system, all the different chemical reactions require a certain amounts of fats, you need fats for hormones stress hormones, sex hormones, you need fat to even make bile. So there's a lot of things in your body that require fat. Fat soluble vitamins, vitamin A, D, E and K. Omega 3 fatty acids including DHA and EPA. So if you're on a ketogenic plan and your fat is mainly peanut butter because sometimes when I talk to people, I found out that the only fat they are consuming is like peanut butter which actually is high in Omega 6 and almost 0 in Omega 3. And then coconut oil, well, that's fine but it doesn't have Omega 3 fatty acids and the regular butter does not contain Omega 3 fatty acids. It is a different type of fat. Olive oil is Omega 6 and that is fine but really the Omega 3 is very important. DHA and EPA vital for the nervous system and brain because the last thing that we want to do is get the benefits of a ketogenic diet but then have the deficiencies of Omega 3 fatty acids. So the best source of Omega 3 especially DHA and EPA is seafood and fatty fish, you can do Sardines, Oysters, Salmon, Tuna, and there's a whole list of different types of fish that are really,really good. That's the best source right here, you can do a high quality Fish Oil too, Virgin Cod Liver Oil has a really good amount of Omega 3 fatty acids. Eggs if its pasture raised, not commercial raised, pasture raised has a good amount of Omega 3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA. And then we have grass-fed dairy and grass-fed meats which actually have 4x the amount of Omega 3 than grain-fed dairy and grain-fed meats. Now there is one little point about this because when it says, grain-finished the Omega 3 fatty acids goes right down so you want a 100% grass-fed ideally. Now, flax has a certain type of fats that has to be converted into DHA and I don't know how much converts but it's definitely not enough.
