I have been following a very low fat diet for a few months and I have noticed that my mood and energy levels have really tanked. I am wondering if I have dropped my fats too low for my hormone health.
I am currently at about 30g of fat a day as a 150 pound woman. Is that enough? I have read that you need fat for vitamin absorption and hormone production. I am thinking of increasing it to 50g and dropping my carbs a bit to compensate.
What is the minimum fat intake you guys would recommend for long term health? I want to look good but I also want to feel good. I would love to hear from anyone who has experienced similar issues with low fat dieting.
