Publisher's Synopsis
While fat is essential, too much is not good for you, and a low- fat eating plan can have lots of health benefits.
The way you cook your food and the choices you make when eating out can also have either a positive or negative effect on your body.
Unsaturated fats which include both polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats come from corn, canola oils and olives. So if you are planning to follow a low- fat eating plan, then most of your fats should fall under this heading.
Saturated fats come from meat and dairy foods, in other words, animal products. It is these that you should eat it moderation. According to the American Heart Association, they should account for no more than 7% of your daily intake. So it is these that we need to count.
