Eat A Little Bit Of Fat

Submitted by mike on Sat, 12/27/2008 - 13:53

Q: If I eat a little bit of fat in my diet will my weight stay the same?

A: A little bit of fat is not only acceptable but should be a part of everybody's diet! Fat is not bad (and carbs are not bad, for that matter). What is bad is processed junk food. If your fat comes from healthy sources like olive oil or fatty fish or eggs or dry-roasted seeds and nuts, then you are doing great. And you need to avoid the fat that comes from fried or processed foods.
