Demystifying Fats
Contrary to the catch phrases from the low-fat movement in the US the past few years, we need fat. Fat plays a key role in innumerable processes in the body. The membrane of every cell in your body is made of fat. Many nutrients are fat-soluble (e.g. Vitamins A & D) and can best be absorbed in the body when eaten along with fat. Fat is your body’s mainstay energy source (with carbohydrates serving primarily immediate or emergency needs). Fat should be a significant part of your diet everyday.
Yes, fat has more calories per gram that protein and carbohydrates, so it should be eaten mindfully when weight loss is a goal. Fat, however, creates a feeling of satiety and can be very useful in controlling blood sugar swings. The key concept in healthily enjoying delicious fats in your diet is selection. Some fats are very healthy. Other fats are very dangerous. From Healthy & Harmful Fats Handout
