Happy Wellness Wednesday!
Today, let’s talk about something simple yet powerful: Why cutting out added oils can be one of the best things you do for your health.
Here’s the truth:
Most oils, even the so-called “healthy” ones, are highly processed and stripped of their nutrients. Just one tablespoon of oil contains around 120 calories — and zero fiber.
So, why go oil-free?
It’s calorie-dense but nutrient-poor.
Oil adds calories without helping you feel full or nourished.
It may impact heart health.
Studies show that added oils can impair the function of your blood vessels, even after just one meal.
Better digestion + energy.
Ditching oil often leads to improved digestion, clearer skin and more consistent energy levels.
Whole foods give you more.
Nutrients, fiber and antioxidants all come with the fat when it’s part of a whole food — think avocado, nuts, seeds and olives.
You don’t need oil to make food delicious — just the right flavors, textures and techniques!
Stay tuned for my favorite no-oil sauces, dressings and meal ideas that support your plant-based lifestyle — with taste, color and confidence.
Wishing you a vibrant, well-nourished Wednesday.
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
