“Fat” is not necessarily a dirty word :)

In fact, dietary fat is crucial for maintaining a healthy and balanced life. It’s an essential micronutrient when it comes to losing weight too.

Even though it’s getting a bad rep because people are usually linking it to weight gain, dietary fat is an essential macronutrient.

We all need some fat in our diet: It fills you up quickly, curbs hunger, boosts your metabolism, promotes cell growth, keeps your body warm, and provides long-lasting energy.

But also, we need fat in order to burn fat.

Yup!

Athletes and nutritionists all around the world suggest that in order to burn fat you must eat fat.

However, not all fats are created equal and not all of them are healthy.

That’s why I made a list of top 8 oils you have to include in your diet if you want to load up on healthy fats.

I teamed up with my favorite global leader in bringing the best overall value in natural products, iHerb, to share Nature’s Way very best oils to help you maintain a healthy life and support weight loss.

Fats can help you lose weight, and today we’re learning how.

Let’s get started right away.

Nature’s Way Best Oils to Support Weight Loss

Oils are so popular these days, and there is a good reason why: they add a health boost to your diet.

While oils are probably not the first thing that comes in mind when we think about weight loss, turns out they are pretty important when it comes to fighting fat.

Because of their powerful medicinal properties, they are proven to support weight loss.

However, you should be really careful when picking them, because while certain oils provide a health boost, others should be used with caution.

In order to choose the best oils for my diet, I headed on to my go-to shop whenever I need a health or fitness related product – iHerb.

As you already probably know, they have the biggest spectrum of health products, and they make weight loss and fitness so much easier.

Not to mention they offer a triple guarantee to ensure customers are 100% satisfied:

So, I headed onto iHerb, for the search of the best oils on the market, and I found them all.

Every single oil I needed to include in my diet was there.

From my favorite coconut oil to oregano and black seed oil, they provide all kinds of health benefits that promote burning fat, speeding up metabolism and improving our health and fitness in general.

Extra virgin olive oil can take a break for a while, because these 8 oils I have for you today, will give you the healthiest boost ever!

Let’s get started!

Coconut Oil

The king of them all – COCONUT OIL!

There’s a huge hype around coconut oil, and there’s a damn good reason why: It works on literally everything: hair, skin, teeth, foods.

And when it comes to promoting weight loss, coconut oil is the world’s most “weight loss friendly” fat.

It contains a unique combination of fatty acids with powerful effects on metabolism, healthy energy levels, and overall health.

However, we should be really careful when choosing the right brand.

That’s why I want you to meet my 2 favorite coconut oils from Nature’s Way – Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and the MCT Oil.

The Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is the one I love the most!

This coconut oil is everything you need:

Organic, extra virgin, unrefined, unbleached, comes from non-GMO coconuts, Hexane-free and has an amazing aroma and creamy taste of fresh coconut.

I usually add it in my pre-workout smoothies – it loads me up with healthy energy. I also use it for spreading and cooking, especially when it comes to making raw desserts from scratch – it helps the ingredients combine perfectly.

 

The MCT Oil, on the other hand, stands for medium-chain triglyceride (MCT).

These medium-length chains of fats called triglycerides are easily digested and have many health benefits linked to the way your body processes these fats.

MCT is extracted from coconut oil, as more than 50% of the fat in coconut oil comes from MCTs.

Since it’s more liquidy compared to the Pure Coconut Oil, I use it in salads, smoothies and I even add it in my coffee.

A teaspoon in the morning and another one before your workout will make everything taste better, yet will promote weight loss by increasing fullness, energy burning, ketone production and by improving the gut environment (+ it’s great for the brainz).

Flax Oil

The next on my list is Nature’s Way, EFAGold, Organic, Flax Oil.

Yes! Flaxseeds are a superfood, and there are so many reasons why they are so popular among athletes.

They are packed with beneficial nutrients, omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber, necessary for maintaining a healthy and balanced life.

And this Nature’s Way Flax Oil is made from freshly ground flaxseeds, containing 50 to 60% omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acids) and lignans.

However, it’s best to consume the flaxseed oil fresh, because same as other seeds and nuts oils when exposed or heated, it tends to lose its nutritive value and oxidizes.

In order to gain the best out of it, use one tablespoon of Flax Oil in your salads or smoothies.

Oh, and, excuse my braces :)

Oregano Oil

When you’re highly active on daily basis, maintaining a good immune system is an essential part of the process.

I consider myself pretty healthy, but when it comes to flu season I always seem to catch the flu.

And there’s nothing like the flu to throw you off the wagon especially when it comes to exercising and staying on track.

Since oregano is considered as a natural antibiotic, proven to fight bacteria, I decided to try out Nature’s Way Oregano Oil Vegetarian Capsules.

These capsules are made out of 75-85% carvacrol, which is the most abundant phenol in oregano oil, shown to stop the growth of several different types of bacteria.

Besides keeping a healthy and strong immune system, oregano oil is a powerful antioxidant, improves gut health and has anti-inflammatory properties.

It’s also proven to fight bad fats and promote weight loss.

I usually take one capsule a day paired with a probiotic, to achieve full potential.

Black Seed Oil

Black seed oil is the new apple cider vinegar. Yes!

Health and fitness bloggers are so hyped about it, mainly because of its effectiveness in helping you shed pounds.

Besides that, Black Seed Oil has been used for thousands of years across cultures as a powerful traditional remedy.

From the seeds of the flowering Nigella sativa plant, and known as “the seed of blessing,” this oil contains a unique blend of Omega-6 and Omega-9.

So, I just had to try it out myself.

I started using Nature’s Way, 100% Organic Black Seed Oil, since it’s organic and unrefined made from the Nigella sativa plant.

I use it 3-4 times a week, mixing it as a refreshing drink. In a glass of water, I add one teaspoon black seed oil and ½ squeezed lemon and I love it!

Hemp Oil

You’ve probably heard about hemp oil aka CBD – it’s the most studied and well-known cannabis compound today.

Hemp oil is so popular for many reasons, from effectiveness in treating different kinds of diseases, to boosting fat burn and promoting weight loss.

Hemp comes in various forms from oil to shoots, milk, and tea.

And I myself have been using hemp oil for the past year, however, I believe that it’s better to use the whole seed instead.

After scrolling all over the CBD blogs, I figured that aside from the fatty acids, hemp seeds contain lots of proteins and fibers too, and we should take advantage of the whole seed instead.

That’s why I decided to try out Nature’s Way Hemp Protein & Fiber, Cold Milled Powder, and I’m loving it so far.

This high-quality hemp seed powder is loaded with nature’s richest sources of protein, fiber & essential fatty acids. 13 g fiber and 11 g protein is not something to be taken for granted.

This cold milled, unrefined, organic protein powder is an amazing way to load on proteins especially if you’re a vegan searching for a delicious and nutritious protein powder to use.

I highly recommend you to try it out!

Fish Oil

Now, let’s take a step back, to one of those “old-fashioned” oils that still work amazing for promoting weight loss – fish oil.

Rich in omega 3, this oil has been popular for decades and apparently still is.

I follow so many athletes and fitness influencers and they’re all hyped on omega-3, especially when it comes to toning some lean muscle, plus supporting heart, skin, and joints.

Not to mention the fact that when combined with a workout routine it boosts the fat-burning effects.

That’s why I want you to meet Nature’s Way, Super Fisol Fish Oil Softgels.

What I like most about Fisol, is the fact that they release fish oil directly into the intestinal tract.

This means that you get all the benefits of the oil without the commonly associated side effects such as fishy burp-back and digestive discomfort.

So, if you are a fit babe that exercises daily, and just want to give a boost up on the fat burn, I recommend you to try it out right now.

Borage & Primrose Oil

And last, but not least, 2 oils for all of you babes that want to come out of your fitness journey with healthy and glowing skin.

Meet Nature’s Way Evening Primrose Oil and Nature’s Way Borage Oil.

I paired these two since they are both an amazing way to keep your skin healthy and fresh, plus load up on healthy fatty acids and speed up weight loss.

They are natural substances that provide high levels of fatty acid called gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) which is a strong anti-inflammatory.

The evening primrose oil it’s actually known for its ability to help naturally cure psoriasis, plus the essential fatty acids help with hormone balance and digestion.

The borage oil, on the other hand, has numerous uses ranging from treating skin flare-ups to lowering pain and speeding up recovery.

Also, they are both proven to naturally reduce PMS symptoms.

During the premenstrual period, we all experience breast tenderness, bloating, water retention, acne, fogginess and headaches, and primrose and borage oil subside these symptoms effectively.
