I know we all here the word fat and we start thinking of cellulite growing on our thighs or our stomach turning into a six pack of rolls, but fat is essential to your overall diet. We all must know what different kinds of fats exists and which ones we are suppose to eat and which ones we should avoid. Here are the most popular fats found out there:
1. Arachidonic= BAD FAT!! Examples are egg yolks, organ meats (like liver and most deli meats), and fatty red meat.
2. Saturated fats=Not SO Bad, but Not SO Good either!!! Saturated fats are found in animal protein sources and in whole-fat dairy products. Although not nearly as bad as arachidonic , saturated fats are still not desirable. This is why it is important to eat low-fat animal protein sources like white meat poultry and fish- they're low in saturated fat.
3. Monounsaturated fats= GOOD FAT!!! Examples are olive oil, canola oil, olives, macadamia nuts, and avocados.
1. They make food taste better!
2. The fat content in a meal causes the release of a hormone called cholecystokinin from the stomach. That hormone tells the brain that you're satisfied and to STOP EATING.
...So put a little fat in your life!!
