MYTH

A low-fat diet is a safe and healthy eating plan.

FACT

Although eating too much fat can be unhealthy, your body uses fat to keep your skin moisturized and nourished and it even uses it to help burn fat. According to the Students’ Center of Health at West Virginia University, “There are ‘good’ fats (i.e., mono-saturated and polysaturated fats) and not-so-good fats (i.e., saturated, trans fats). So, eat moderate amounts of healthy fats from salmon, avocados, olive oil and nuts, and limit saturated fat from fried food, red meat and butter. Try to stay away from trans fats completely. French fries, pack-aged baked goods, cookies and crackers are of-ten loaded with them—if you see ‘partially hydro-genated’ vegetable oil on the label, put it back on the shelf.”
