WHAT CAN I EAT?

-

Between 60 per cent and 80 per cent of

your daily kilojoules will come from fat. The types of fat consumed are important, though. Avoid fats laden with omega-6, such as soy, corn and canola. Mayonnaise and salad dressings are a fatty trap, for example. Instead, go for fats packed with medium-chain triglyceri­des (or MCTS), like coconut oil, which can be easily converted by the body.

Alternativ­ely, choose fats like butter (especially from grass-fed cows), olive oil, avocado and cheese. Flaxseed and sunflower oils are also good.
