To maintain weight loss, one of the most helpful things you can do, is to increase your fat intake. But you must
eat the right kind of fat. The best maintenance fat is probably borage oil, which you’ve possibly never heard of.
But olive oil can work almost as well as borage oil for most patients for weight maintenance. Studies suggest that
eating 500-600 calories of olive oil a day (25% of daily caloric intake), may significantly help weight
maintenance. The key to maintenance is to find a way to keep your carbohydrate cravings under control.
Increasing your fat intake with the right kind of fat, may be one of the best ways to stop craving sweets and
starches. Eat 500-600 calories of olive oil a day for a week, and see what happens to your carbohydrate
cravings.
