If you would like to be healthy, the recommendations are loud and clear: decrease your intake of fats, especially saturated fat and trans fatty acids and you will lessen your risk of heart disease.
Eating a low fat diet does not mean sacrificing flavour and taste. You can enjoy many of the foods you like with just a few changes.
If you are attempting to shed weight, remember that calories do count! To experience weight loss, you must burn more calories than you consume.
Our bodies require some essential fatty acids to function correctly. We also need some fats in our diet, so that they can provide the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.
