HDL fat is your friend

One of the biggest mistakes in healthcare perpetrated over the last decade is the notion that “fat is bad.” If you want to enjoy your greatest health potential, you must know the truth about this common (and incorrect) belief about fat.

Fat is not your enemy

Fat is essential if you want your body to look and feel younger and to nourish your nervous system to function at its best. Healthy fats provide good cholesterol, which is crucial for the production of hormones that enhance youthful qualities. If you have chosen to adopt a low-fat diet, you are depriving your body of the nutrients it needs to slow down aging and function optimally.

In fact, low-fat alternatives abound on supermarket shelves. To get away with low-fat (low flavor) products, manufacturers have opted to add sugar to provide the taste people want. What is the result for you? Weight gain. If you have LDL cholesterol, read this link to balance it.

That is to say:

Fat does not automatically make you gain weight. At least, not “good” fat (HDL).
