[QUOTE="zand, post: 1124734, member: 85197"] Yes we need a very small amount of saturated fat in our diet. I remember reading a while back that if we don't consume any sat fats at all then our bodies try to replicate it by making an inferior substitute. I would define sat cooking fats as those that are solid at room temperatures ie butter and lard. Animal products, cream, cheese, whole milk, fatty meats, coconut oil and palm kernel oil are sat fats. Sat fats are safe. Foods containing unsaturated fats such as avocado, fish oil, olive oil, nuts and seeds are fine too. Trans fats are to be avoided, they are mostly found in processed or fast foods, though not all processed foods will have them. Low fat spreads aren't good, they contain artificial ingredients. Butter is better. The problem with manufactured low fat products like yoghurt is that they usually contain more carbs than the full fat version. There was something else I was going to say, but it has escaped my mind now and I'm going to press reply because my PC has shut itself down 3 times whilst trying to post this. :( I'm sure others can fill in the things I have missed. :) [/QUOTE]
