Fat is bad for you, right? Not necessarily. Although most people shy away from fat completely, this may not be the best course of action when it comes to losing weight. The fat fact is that there are good fats and bad fats, so choose your fat wisely.
How do you know which fats are good, and which fats are bad? Well, monounsaturated fats are the best kinds of fats that you can consume. Those foods that are high in monounsaturated fats include nuts, olive oil, peanut oil, canola oil, and avocados. Monounsaturated fats are usually found in liquid form, but they tend to turn rather firm when they are cooled, and this is an easy way to remember the right kind of fat. Contrastingly, saturated fats are not quite as good for you.
While saturated fats can have their advantages (most dairy products are made from saturated fats), they can also be bad for you in excess quantities. Coconut milk, palm kernels, eggs, meats, butters, and milk all contain saturated fat. This type of fat is not as good for you as monounsaturated far, but it is ok in moderation. However, trans fats are not good for you in any way, which is why you should stay away from anything packaged that contains trans fat (trans fats are chemically engineered).
The type of fat that you really need to include in your daily diet is polyunsaturated fat. This type of fat includes Essential Fatty Acids, Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9. You can find polyunsaturated fat in canola oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, and in seafood. If you want to help supplement the amount of essential Omega-3 that you consume, Herbalife’s Herbalifeline and Tri-Shield will help the absorption of polyunsaturated fat. Now that you know all about fat, you can easily choose the foods that you need ... and you can skip the other foods that will harm you. Remember to use your Herbalife supplements in order to gain those extra nutrients, and never give up on fat completely.
