SAVE for future reference!

Fat is a macronutrient which means its one of the major nutrients that provide you with energy💪

You do want to limit saturated and trans fats however as they can lead to high cholesterol.

Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are the healthier fats found in nuts, nut butters, seeds, vegetable oils, and avocados🥑.

Adding fat to your diet also helps you stay full for a long time 😃

Keep in mind that fat does provide a lot of calories so you do want to be careful with how much you are consuming. Enjoy balanced meals with the right portions 😁

SHARE on your story to raise awareness!

Have you ever come across this nutrition myth? I personally have heard this way too many times to count 😅

Unfortunately lemon water does not burn fat.

It is a good source of vitamin C however and helps boost your immune system 🍋

However if you suffer from GERD/acid reflux issues steer clear from lemon water as it can potentially make it worse ☹
