The Truth About Fat
How much do you really know about fat? Good Housekeeping separates the
myth from reality.
Myth: In the battle of the bulge, fat is your foe.
Reality: The number-one enemy for dieters is calories, and many calories
don't come from fat. Instead, they come from consuming too many no-fat
soft drinks and low-fat bread, muffins and chips.
Myth: All fat is bad for your heart and health.
Reality: New research shows that a balance between different types of
fats can be beneficial to regulating blood pressure and clotting.
Myth: All fats are created equal.
Reality: Monounsaturated fats found in olive, canola and peanut oils --
as well as omega-3 polyunsaturated fats in fish like white tuna -- are
good for you. What types of fats should you avoid? Saturated fats found
in fatty cuts of meat and trans-fats, an ingredient often found in snack
foods and margarines (for trans-fats, look for the phrase "partially
hydrogenated" on the label).
GH advice: Eat salmon instead of steak; pass on the fast-food fried fish
sandwich and order the grilled chicken sandwich instead; and replace
bacon bits and croutons on your salad with avocado and nuts.
