Once I Learned About 'Ghost Fats'...I Lost 18lbs

About this video

Kane introduces her term ‘ghost fats’ for fats she says people eat without realising. She argues seed oils such as canola, soybean, corn and sunflower hide throughout packaged food, and that emulsifiers like mono- and diglycerides and hydrogenated oils can appear on labels without counting as fat grams. She contrasts these with visible fats, saying she has eaten over 150 grams daily from butter, beef, eggs and full-fat dairy for six years and claims her weight, hormones, energy and blood work improved. She lists eight signs she associates with too little healthy fat, including afternoon slumps, constant hunger, brain fog, hormonal problems, feeling cold, joint pain, dry skin and eyes, and puffiness. Her tiers put seed and hydrogenated oils last, olive or avocado oil and conventional bacon in caution, and butter, ghee, tallow, egg yolks and olive oil on top.
