Q:
Why are some fats good and some fats bad to eat?

A:
Fat is an important building block for the body.  When you eat fat, some of it is burned for energy but much of it is stored for use later.  The brain, for example is mostly composed of fat.  Your body is made up of billions of cells.  The membrane surrounding each cell of your body is made of fat.  Fats are digested slowly so you have a lot of time to use them for energy before they can be stored as fat on your body.

The good fats, omega-3-6-9 are essential fatty acids for fast fat loss and regulation of blood sugar levels.  Imega-3-6 are found in the following foods:  salmon, mackerel, sardines, tuna, trout, flaxsed, pumpkin seed and oil, soybean, walnut oil, canola, safflower, sunflower, corn, seasme, rice bran, almond, macadamia and olive oil.  Sources of fats to avoid include coconut, palm, kernel, cottonseed and peanut oil.
