In a recent interview with the New York Times, Hyman talks about switching from a low-fat, carb-heavy diet (which he says wasn’t giving him the results he wanted) to one that incorporates healthy fats from things like fish and nuts. He recently wrote the book “Eat Fat: Get Thin,” which focuses on incorporating high-fat, plant-based foods into your diet.
Here’s a look at some of the high-fat staples Hyman includes in his eating regimen, along with some of the foods he avoids, and what the research says about them:
Keep as your cornerstone: Veggies, veggies, and more veggies
Add to your bag: Nuts and seeds
Swap for butter and margarine: Olive oil
Instead of steak or ribs, try: Fatty fish
Add to your diet: Avocados
Cut back on: Refined carbs like white bread or white rice
Avoid or skip: Sweet fats, like full-fat fruit-flavored yogurt
