Is fat good or bad?
It depends. Your body needs some fat in order to absorb the nutrients that are found in food. Fats like olive oil, nuts and avocados not only have the healthy fats that your body needs, but also has a lot of omega-3 fatty acids. Saturated and trans fats, however, are found in processed foods and should be avoided. In other words, don't be afraid of healthy fat!

Some vitamins are only fat soluble and the polyunsaturated fats Omega 3 and Omega 6 are essential for the body, meaning that the body can't produce them on it's own. The body needs both protein and fat to function properly.

Eliminate saturated fats and trans fats such as those found in ice cream, meat and dairy products, and eat more monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats that help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Foods such as avocados, nuts, seeds and olives contain these heart-healthy fats, which benefit any dieter regardless of age.
