This weeks nutrition class took a bit longer than usual. Most of the members of our team are becoming more comfortable, and are opening up and participating in the discussions. This causes the meetings to go a little longer, but that is why we are all there, to learn, grow and help each other.
This week Kelsie talked about fats, good fats vs bad fats. There seems to be a little disagreement about whether some fats are good or not, but here is the list she gave us. Just remember, dairy products like milk, butter and cheese, are important for your nutritional health but they should be eaten in moderation. Eat lower fat versions such as 1% or skim milk, and cheeses like, pepper jack or string cheese.
