yes, avocados do have fats but good ones but dont eat too much
avocados, olive oil, eggs, nuts, and fish have healthy fats.
Avocados have polyunsaturated fats which are better for your body than the regular, saturated fats which you find in unhealthy food. Try them on top of a salad or in a dip with some veggies. In moderation, they are good for you and your heart!
Avocados are a great source of fruit oil and digestive fats.
There are a wide variety of foods that contain good fats, also called monounsaturated fats. Some of these are avocado, olive oil, almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, and fatty fish.
For people who are riding the myth that avocados are fattening, it will be an eye opener to know that research has indicated that these fruits actually help in weight loss. Here are few reasons why avocados aid in losing weight. * Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats which are very healthy and promote the reduction in the cholesterol levels and LDL (the bad cholesterol). * Natural fats do not induce weight gain the way "unnatural" fats do. Avocados are rich in necessary natural fats. * It's impossible to over-eat Avocados because of their "satiating" tendency. Very few people can eat more than two helpings of avocado because of its richness. It's so much easier to eat a lot white bread and gain weight than to gain weight on Avocados. * It's has been studied that Avocados contain enough calories in fat to help nourish the body but not induce any excess weight gain. * Monounsaturated fats present in Avocados aid in better absorption of other vegetarian foods and thus help in good metabolism. * You are unlikely to binge on "processed" foods when you eat a salad of avocado prior a meal. * The fats present in Avocado are "nutrient" rich, packed with essential minerals and vitamins which help in better absorption and regulation in the body. On the contrary "processed" fats contain only "fat" without the nutrients.
