Fats Are Your Friend?

How many times have you noticed when people start dropping body fat and going into a "transformation" phase they instantly lose some mental clarity and focus? Always right? 

Yes, getting close to a show will inevitably do this to an extent because your fat levels are so low. However for a "normal" transformation this really shouldn't be the issue that it has become for so many people.

This is down to the fact that their diet is wrong, often excessively low in calories and particularly low in the correct fat sources.

I never make somebody go fat free on their diet, to me that's crazy s***. Fats are an ESSENTIAL nutrient (by "essential" I mean scientifically, physiologically essential) which are among other things, totally essential for your brain function/cognitive function. 

Omega 3s are the best for brain function, so including oily fish, high quality fish oils, organic eggs and grass fed steak are all great sources for this. 

So think, your diet shouldn't just support body composition and performance goals, it should also support mental function.
