Recommended Answer:
Myths and facts about fatsMyth: All fats are equal—and equally bad for you.Fact: Saturated fats and trans fats are bad for you because they raise your cholesterol and increase your risk for heart disease. But monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are good for you, lowering cholesterol and reducing your risk of heart disease.Myth: Lowering the amount of fat you eat is what matters the most.Fact: The mix of fats that you eat, rather than the total amount in your diet, is what matters most when it comes to your cholesterol and health. The key is to eat more good fats and less bad fats.Myth: Fat-free means healthy.Fact: A “fat-free” label doesn't mean you can eat all you want without consequences to your waistline. Many fat-free foods are high in sugar, refined carbohydrates, and calories.Myth: Eating a low-fat diet is the key to weight loss.Fact: The obesity rates for Americans have doubled in the last 20 years, coinciding with the low-fat revolution. Cutting calories is the key to weight loss, and since fats are filling, they can help curb overeating.Myth: All body fat is the same.Fact: Where you carry your fat matters. The health risks are greater if you tend to carry your weight around your abdomen, as opposed to your hips and thighs. A lot of belly fat is stored deep below the skin surrounding the abdominal organs and liver, and is closely linked to insulin resistance and diabetes.GOOD FATS Monounsaturated fat Polyunsaturated fat ◾Olive oil◾Canola oil◾Sunflower oil◾Peanut oil ◾Sesame oil◾Avocados ◾Olives◾Nuts (almonds, peanuts, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, pecans, cashews)◾Peanut butter ◾Soybean oil ◾Corn oil◾Safflower oil◾Walnuts◾Sunflower, sesame, and pumpkin seeds Flaxseed◾Fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring, trout, sardines)◾Soymilk◾Tofu BAD FATS Saturated fat Trans fat ◾High-fat cuts of meat (beef, lamb, pork)◾Chicken with the skin◾ Whole-fat dairy products (milk and cream)◾Butter◾Cheese◾Ice cream◾Palm and coconut oil◾Lard ◾Commercially-baked pastries, cookies, doughnuts, muffins, cakes, pizza dough◾Packaged snack foods (crackers, microwave popcorn, chips)◾Stick margarine ◾Vegetable shortening◾Fried foods (French fries, fried chicken, chicken nuggets, breaded fish)◾Candy barsOther Answers:
