subject: Will Eating Fat Make You Unhealthy? The Myth Stops Here! [print this page] A common belief today is that eating foods containing fat will make you unhealthy. But this isn't true! Eating foods with good fat in them is actually a must to stay healthy and keep your body running properly. But there are bad types of fat that you should stay away from.
Here's a basic rule that you should start living by today, especially when it comes to the fat content of food. If it's natural food that contains a high amount of fat, chances are that it's very healthy and you shouldn't be afraid of eating it. But if it's a man-made food that contains fat, you should stay far away from it.
A huge part of staying healthy is eating a balanced diet that consists of all three macro-nutrients; carbohydrates, protein, and fat. If you take out any one of these your body will not run efficiently and you'll eventually have health problems (not to mention no energy!) This is why low or no fat diets are very unhealthy.
But you want to eat healthy fats that fuel your body, not man-made fats that stop it up. Healthy fats will be found in natural whole foods like avocados, fish, nuts, and olive oil. You should eat these regularly as they will help your body stay healthy.
Stay away from man-made foods that contain fat though, like potato chips, margarine, and anything with hydrogenated fat in it. Hydrogenated fat is actually close to plastic, and it won't help you lose weight or stay healthy.
