Crafting a Fat-Balancing Strategy

To lose weight, the only thing you need to know about fat is that too much of it can add pounds. However, the food we eat contains several kinds of fat, and each type has unique effects on our body chemistries. Scientists are not yet sure of the importance of these effects, but because humans lived for millions of years on diets with a particular balance among various kinds of fats, you should be aware of the differences. Also, a change in the balance of fats in your diet can influence your cholesterol level. Although these effects are usually modest, sometimes they are significant, so they're worth knowing about.

Remember, though, for you to lose weight, your top priority must be to eliminate refined carbohydrates. Avoid being sidetracked by fat and cholesterol hang-ups. The wider the variety of foods you have to choose from, the easier it will be to cut starch and sugar. However, if you can improve the balance among the fats in your diet without compromising your weight loss program, you just might be healthier for doing it.
