<p>This is my first question. Started caring about diet only recently. I want to give the idea of reducing PUFAs a try and see how I feel. How do you do it? What do you have to avoid and what do you replace it with?</p> <p>EDIT: Thanks all for your answers. I'd like to add that I also read that Mayonnaise has a lot of PUFAs.</p>

<p>Cook with butter, animal fat, coconut oil, or ghee. Olive oil is OK for salad dressings. NO industrial seed oils (canola, soybean, corn). NO commercial salad dressing!</p> <p>Eat less chicken and pork, more red meat.</p> <p>No processed food.</p> <p>Limit nuts.</p>

<p>Avoid nuts, seed oils, poultry.</p> <p>You can use crono-meter to check on grams of PUFAs in foods. Omega 6 is easy to overconsume. Most folks under consume Omega 3.</p> <p>Another hack is to not cook/gently cook your PUFAs. I hard boil eggs for example. </p>

<p>Avoid processed foods, try not to eat out to much, opt for grass-fed meat instead of grain-fed meat, avoid nuts and nut butter (except for coconut) and use animal fats! =)</p>

<p>The biggest bang for your buck comes from reducing highly oxidized PUFAs (i.e. refined oils from seeds). Nuts are next up there for damaged PUFAs, but really only if roasted. Animals fats, raw nuts, avocados, etc... yes, they have higher PUFA content, but it's largely undamaged, unoxidized PUFA, so that's not a bad thing. </p>
