Lesson Overview

2.22 – Saturated Fat, Cholesterol & Strength Hormones (Without the Myths): Many lifters hear scary talk about saturated fat and cholesterol, but the real issue is balance and context. Your body uses cholesterol as a building material for important hormones. When fats drop too low, some people notice weaker workouts, lower drive, and slower recovery. Saturated fat is not a magic muscle builder, but a small, steady amount can support hormonal stability. The bigger problem is often processed foods that combine bad fats with sugar and low nutrients. Whole food sources of fat tend to come with vitamins and minerals that support performance. Your strength depends on stable hormones, stable sleep, and stable energy, not extreme dieting. When people cut fat too hard, they often feel flat and sore for longer after training. Learning the difference between food quality and fat type helps you make smarter choices. You can build muscle while still protecting your long-term health by choosing reasonable portions and better sources. This lesson helps you stop fearing fats and start using them like a tool. When you do that, strength and recovery often improve without any shortcuts.
