The skinny on fats
Did you know that you may be able to increase the amount of anabolic hormones your body produces simply by altering your diet? "Healthy" monounsaturated fats appear to be helpful with the body's natural production of anabolic hormones. You can get a good supply of these fats and avoid the undesirable saturated fats with canola oil, safflower oil, olive oil, peanut oil, olives, avocados, and nuts, including almonds, cashews, and peanuts. Large doses of coconut oil, ice cream, cheddar cheese, and cream cheese in your diet will do the exact opposite; they're loaded with saturated fats. The next time you use your frying pan, coat it with olive oil instead of butter; or, if you're looking for an easy, on-the-go snack, trade in the bagel with cream cheese for some unsalted nuts.
