For a long time, we have been taught that the main key to weight loss is a low fat diet. And any fatty product was considered a sworn enemy. But insight came, and we realized that not all fats are forced to gain weight.
There are 4 types of fats: saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and trans fats. The latter have nothing to do with benefit. All processed foods contain them, and staying away from them is worth it.
Saturated fats are not so harmful, they are found in meat, cheeses, and eggs. Coconut oil is an exception to this list due to its lauric acid content.
But monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are another matter entirely. They reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, lower blood cholesterol and even control weight. These healthy fats are found in avocados, nuts, olive and canola oils, flax seed and oily fish.
Almond paste is very suitable for morning toast, walnuts for muesli and yogurt, regular baking flour should be replaced with almond, and cashew paste with apple slices will be the best snack during a work break. Do not be afraid to generously season olive oil with avocado salad, and there should always be oily fish in the daily menu.
It is always worth remembering that “bad” fats provoke cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, and can even cause cancer. But healthy fats prevent serious illnesses and help maintain beauty and health.
