You could still eat fats, but in moderation... and more importantly, choose healthy fats rather than saturated and trans fats!
There are three major types of fats:
- Saturated Fats: which are found in meats and dairy as well as some plant sources like coconut oil.
- Unsaturated Fats: These are known as 'heart-healthy fats', these are found in plant sources such as avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, as well as fish.
- Trans-fatty acids: This is by far the worst kind of fat! These unsaturated fats that have undergone a process known as hydrogenation.
Here is where you can get healthy (plant-based) fats that are good for you:
- Avocados
-Raw, cold pressed oils: The best types of oil are unrefined coconut oil, flaxseed oil, olive oil, pumpkin seed oil, hemp seed oil, borage seed oil, and sunflower oil.
-Nuts and seeds: make sure to soak them overnight to remove inhibitor enzymes which make them more difficult to digest.
