About Fats

Fats

Although some fat is essential in the diet most of us eat far more than is good for us. A high fat diet, particularly one that contains a lot of saturated 'animal' fats is known to increase the risk of problems such as heart disease, stroke and certain types of cancer. Gram for gram fat contains twice as many calories as protein or carbohydrate making it a dieters biggest enemy.

There are two main types of fat: saturated and unsaturated – the unsaturated group can be divided again into monounsaturated and polyunsaturated

Saturated fat

A diet high in saturated fats can raise levels of LDL 'bad' cholesterol in the blood which causes narrowing of the arteries and increases the risk of heart attacks and stroke.

Foods high in saturated fat include:

Hard and full fat soft cheeses.
Cream.
Crème fraiche.
Butter, lard, suet.
Fatty cuts of meat such as sausages, burgers, salami.
Pastry.
Coconut oil.
Coconut milk.
Palm oil.

Unsaturated fats

These are better for the heart and are found in foods like:

Oil rich fish.
Vegetable oil.
Olive oil.
Nuts & seeds.
Avocado.
