FATS!!! The Angel and the Devil

The fact is that we all need fats. Limit, but do not cut out high fat foods: Dietary fat can be stored if taken in excess, however, some fat intake must be maintained to prevent the body from storing every bit of fat it does get. And we should keep some fats in our "nondiet", as it helps get your body into a "fat burning mode"., but keep it "low to moderate fat" not "no fat".

However, when consumed in excess amount, fats contribute to weight gain, heart disease and certain types of cancer. Fats are not created equal. Some fats promote our health positively while some increase our risks of heart disease.

"The key is to replace bad fats with good fats in our diet."

When I say fat intake must be maintained, what I mean is "good" fats such as those from fish, flax oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, olive oil, peanut oil and nuts, and most importantly, the key point is in moderation. If your intake of these healthy fats contribute to an excess of calories intake per day... then that's not very wise.
