Whole30, a 30-day diet revolving around clean eating, also emphasizes healthy fats. Devised in 2009 by Dallas Hartwig, a functional medicine practitioner and certifi ed sports nutritionist, and Melissa Hartwig, a certifi ed sports nutritionist, the program aims to reduce infl ammation, detoxify the body and reset metabolism. The Salt Lake City, Utah, authors of the New York Times bestselling The Whole30 recommend healthy fats to keep us full and rev up metabolism. Recommended healthy fats include coconut milk and oil, avocados, olive oil, organic ghee (clarifi ed butter) and raw nuts. Josh Axe, a natural medicine
practitioner and clinical nutritionist in Nashville, Tennessee, recommends the healthy fats contained in avocados, organic butter and ghee from grass-fed cows and goats, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, and other foods high in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, sardines, walnuts, chia seeds and fl ax seeds. “Butter’s experiencing a comeback as a healthy fat as its benefi ts become more widely known,” says Axe. “The omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in butter help the brain function properly and improve skin health.” Ghee, an ancient Indian version of butter, is lactose- and casein-free, while being loaded with fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E, says Axe. These vitamins are best absorbed by the body when they’re in a fat substance and then stored in the gastrointestinal tract, keeping metabolism and digestion on track, he notes. Ghee’s
high level of vitamin K2, best known as a natural blood coagulator, “also helps strengthen bones, while the fatty acids found in it improve digestion and reduce infl ammation.”
Healthy Levels of Fat “If you’re active, about 40 percent of your calories should come from carbohydrates, another 30 percent from protein and the other 30 percent from fat in general,” says Axe, adding that this has the added benefi t of helping prevent
arteriosclerosis. “Some people may consume a greater percentage of healthy fats if the goal is to become a fat burner.” “There is no one-size-fi ts-all approach to weight loss and health,” Hyman reminds us. “Low-carb, higher- fat diets work for most people, but for some, they may not be optimal in the long term.”

Prime Sources of Healthy Fats
Functional medicine physician Mark Hyman suggests that we include four to fi ve servings of fat in our diets every day. “In the last fi ve years, the scientifi c evidence has been mounting that high-fat diets outperform low-fat diets for weight loss and for revising every single indication of heart disease risk, including abnormal cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension and infl ammation,” he says.
Each amount listed indicates a serving size.
Nuts (a handful of walnuts, almonds, macadamia nuts or cashews)
Seeds (a handful of pumpkin, sunfl ower of fl axseed)
Most plant-based liquid oils (one
tablespoon of olive, saffl ower, sesame, avocado, macadamia, grape seed or walnut oil)
Fatty fi sh (4 ounces of salmon, herring, mackerel, sardines, tuna or trout)
Avocado (one-half to one avocado) Extra virgin coconut oil (one tablespoon) Organic coconut milk (one-quarter cup) Olives (one-quarter cup)
Grass-fed animal butter, clarifi ed butter or ghee (one tablespoon)
Aim to eat fats that remain liquid (not solid) at room temperature; it’s a sure sign of heart-healthy, unsaturated fats.
