Today we’re going to talk about dietary fats and what type of fat your body thrives on. 

Short-chain fatty acids 
These are made from fiber. They feed the colon cells, potentially decrease the risk of cancer, and can help with insulin resistance. 

Medium-chain fatty acids 
MCT oil is an example of medium-chain fatty acids. Medium-chain fatty acids don’t require bile to be absorbed. This can be a great source of fat for fuel if a person doesn’t have enough bile. 

Long-chain fatty acids 
These fats provide fuel and certain elements for structural parts of the body, and they also provide essential fatty acids. 

A few examples of long-chain fatty acids would be:
• Animal fat 
• Butter
• Coconut oil 
• Palm oil 
• Vegetable oils
• Nut oils 
• Omega-3 fatty acids 

The most important type of fat that the body needs is omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). A good portion of the brain, as well as the retinas, need this type of fat. It’s also anti-inflammatory. You can get omega-3 fatty acids from fish oils, cod liver oil, salmon, and even algae. 

Other fats will provide energy and feed the colon. But if you lower your carb intake, your body will get its energy from its own body fat, and it won’t be dependent on dietary fat until you run out.
