Can the absorption of lipids be prevented?

I am going to answer this question based on what I believe the intention may be, and that is to loose weight.First of all, lipids are essential chemicals that are involved in all natural and healthy body processes. Limiting the absorption of lipids could have devastating effects on human health since most processes in the body are controlled by hormones, many of which contain lipids.Lipids are in the group of chemicals called fats. You may want to consider which sources of fats you have in your diet, but fats are essential to good health. The less healthy fats/lipids come from animal sources. The healthier ones are from plants.Some of my favorites are extra virgin olive oil that is 'first cold pressed'. Other good fats/lipids/oils are coconut, canola, peanut, and grape seed.If you consider that every cell in your body has a membrane around it, and the name of the membrane is called the phospholipid bilayer, that should tell you how important fats are in our diet, especially good fats, like the unsaturated ones I mentioned.
