JessiccaThe Laws of Dieting Success: Know the fat you eat
November 16th 2006 00:25
When it comes to carbo and fat, you sometimes do need to know what sort of fat that you are taking everyday. Everyone's been arguing that what sort of fat should be taken and what should be avoided, a good example would be between magarine and butter, those who are not taking animal fat would probably avoid butter but is magarine (some says vegetable magarine) be good? Lets check out the article I fould below:
Fabulous Fats

Ah, fat, how I love thee. Just a little goes such a long way.
Most dieters don't realize this, but you actually need fat in your diet. There are some micronutrients, which your body can not produce, that are fat soluble, meaning that the only way to get them and to process them is by eating fat.
However, not every fat is created equal.
There are four sorts of fats: Saturated, Monounsaturated, Polyunsaturated, and Trans Fats.
Saturated Fats are generally fats that are solid at room temperature, such as butter, lard and the fat that you want to trim off your steak. These are not healthful fats. These are the fats that can harden your arteries and lead you to a coronary. A little of these fats is OK, but eat them sparingly! Most saturated fats come from animal sources: meat, milk, eggs, though some oils such as Palm Oil include saturated fat. Be sure to read the label to be sure that your oil is not saturated.
Unsaturated Fats - both Monounsaturated and Polyunsaturated are generally liquid at room temperature, such as canola oil and olive oil. Both of these fats are more healthful fats. When eating fat, you'll want to eat more of these. Other sources of unsaturated fats include fish, nuts and seeds.
Trans fats do not exist in nature. They are the product of modern science and these are the worst fats of all. Anything containing the words "Partially Hydrogenated" and Oil should be avoided as much as possible. That includes margarine and a lot of the fats you find in Potato Chips.
The FDA suggests you actually take in between 4 and 8 tsp of oil a day, depending on how many calories you should be eating.

Great to see you dropping by again!
If you do have an oven at home (like I used to have in Australia) then it is fun to bake your own healthy chips.
Be sure to stay tuned!
