You want me to eat FATS? Really? In all my years of dieting, I thought I was to avoid fats in order to lose weight? I thought I had to avoid fats to protect my heart and keep my cholesterol down. And now you want me to eat fats?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>From my research, the key is knowing which fats are good for us. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2005 Dietary Guidelines tell us to get around 10% of our daily calories from fats. \u00a0The HEALTHY FATS- unsaturated\u00a0fats which<\/strong>\u00a0include polyunsaturated fatty acids and monounsaturated\u00a0fats<\/strong>. Both mono- and polyunsaturated\u00a0fats<\/strong>. Healthy fats are not<\/strong> packaged processed foods, fried foods, cakes, cookies, etc.\u00a0 which contain saturated or trans\u00a0fats<\/strong><\/p>\n

So what are some of these Hea<\/strong>lthy Fats?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Avocados<\/strong>-high in calories but also high in fiber and good fats<\/p>\n

Olive Oil<\/strong>-can help to lower blood pressure and risk of cardiovascular disease<\/p>\n

Salmon<\/strong>-rich in Omega 3-high in protein<\/p>\n

Eggs<\/strong>-we used to eat the egg white and avoid yoks. Now we are told yoks contain lots of nutrients and the cholesterol contained in yolks is not damaging to the heart.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Nuts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coconuts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Flaxseed<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peanut<\/strong>\u00a0and Almond Butters<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dark Chocolate<\/strong>\u2014small amounts, please!<\/p>\n

Can we eat all of these healthy foods we want? NO!!!<\/strong> Keep in mind that fat has 9 calories per gram\u2014carbs and protein have 4 calories per gram. Moderation is the key. Just start now thinking of ways to include the healthy fats in your diet\u2014and ways to replace some of the saturated or trans\u00a0fats with healthier fats.\u00a0Just keep in mind that our bodies need some FAT to function effectively–just the right kind of FATS.<\/p>\n
