Avocado is one of my favorite foods. I add it to everything, but a lot of people avoid them because they are “fats”.

Today I wanted to talk a little bit about fats. For starters, some fats are heart healthy, and some add to problems like heart disease.  And just because a food is low-fat or fat-free does not mean it is healthy. Case in point, walk down the grocery store aisles and you will see low-fat chips, cookies, candies, and ice creams. How can you know which is which? What is healthy, and what is not? First, use your intuition, you probably know. And then consider this chart, as it helps to explain the difference:

Trans and saturated fats are the bad ones, and they are found in all those yummy foods we love like donuts and pastries, and pizza. But they can lead to all kinds of health problems if we get too much.

So should we just skip fats all together? No. Good fats are critical for nourishing the brain, heart, and body. They can help with weight management, mood elevation, in fighting fatigue, and are critical for mental prowess. In fact, it is recommended that 10-25% of your daily caloric intake should be from good fats.

This leads to today’s challenge.

Day 17 Mini-Challenge: Cut one unhealthy fat, add one healthy fat.

Good fats can be found in many places: Olive oil, nuts, nut butters, avocados, olives, soymilk, salmon, flaxseed, sunflower seeds, and more.

Today, try to cut out one bad fat, and replace it with a good fat. For example, get rid of a packaged snack food, and instead snack on this amazing Southwest Guac with Roasted Garlic and Tomatoes!
