Trying to lose weight or switch to a proper diet, many of us exclude fats. We think this is an unhealthy product, which leads to weight gain. This opinion is not correct. Not all fats are unhealthy. The usefulness of fat depends on the source from which it was produced, as well as on the amount that we consume. We must remember that even the most useful product in excess turns into poison.
According to the results of some studies and the opinion of a nutritionist Hillary Wright, each oil has its advantages, but you need to know how much and when it can be used. Hillary recommends adhering to the recommendations for the use of oils and not exceed the permissible fat rate, which is less than 10% of the daily calorie intake.
