Fats Are Your Friend

Healthy fats help us in so many ways. Yet often times, when people decide it’s time to get skinny, they want to to give up fats, even the good kind. In an effort to be healthy and lose some weight, they go on a “diet”.

I hate the word “diet.” It has a negative connotation. It brings thoughts of starving yourself by consuming rice cakes and water all day. Meanwhile, your stomach growls and you can’t help dreaming about all the foods you can’t have. It’s cruel and unusual punishment.
