Good Fats, Bad Fats and Losing Weight

"If you are worried about weight loss, look to the (highly refined) white flour products and (highly refined) sugar in your diet." This quote is from the following article. Eat good fats, lots of vegies and fruit and walk, walk, walk! If you look at all the food that is REALLY good for you, you will find the #1 secret of eating well: Eat only foods that are 1 ingredient! Stay away from the chemically produced food as much as you can. Good luck!

Some of the ways oils are processed include adding hydrogen atoms or using chemical solvents. Does that sound like food you want to put in your body?

Newfangled fats to be skeptical of, or downright avoid:

* All hydrogenated oils, including margarine
* Soy and corn oil
* Peanut oil
* Canola and Grapeseed oil

Traditional, naturally occurring fats full of nutrients the human body needs:
(Always favor organic!)

* Butter and Ghee
* Coconut and sesame oils
* Olive oil
* Flax and Fish oil
* Chicken, goose, and duck fat
* Beef and lamb tallow
