In keeping with Nick’s last post, but not quite as deep or intellectual, I came across this article on one of the blogs I subscribe to.  Everyone seems to be on the fat is bad bandwagon and there is a lot of new information that contradicts the all FAT is bad mantra.  I do as much reading as I can keeping an open mind with regard to nutrition and health in general.  I have been a Zoner for almost two years now and I like to experienment with it just to see what affect it has on my body and performance.  I can honestly say that (for me) fat isn’t a bad thing.  For me reducing my carbs and increasing my fat has helped me to reduce my overall body fat with no negative affects on performance or overall health.  While I am not a “fire breather” I have continued to show improvement on my time and strength for various CF WODs.  Still, too much of even a good thing can go awry.  So while it’s not a good idea to go crazy with any of the fats, I do believe that eating more fat does not make you fat.  As Nick put it, there is nothing better than a fat juicy steak smothered in butter!  Here is the link for the article — you can draw your own conclusions.
