Diet Myth #5: Fat is the Enemy

Not all fats are created equal, suggests Jackie. Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats can actually improve levels of good cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. These healthy fats can be found in fish, walnuts, avocado, and olive oil. According to Jackie, they can aid the diet by delaying hunger pangs when consumed in appropriate amounts. A diet that contains a balance of favorable carbohydrates, proteins, and fats is ultimately the healthiest option for achieving long term weight loss goals.
