Is fat a friend or foe?

Recent science has proven that eating some fat is not only necessary for humans, but may help you lose weight. Along with benefiting nearly every organ in the body, fat also fills you up better than carbohydrates.
However, it is important to distinguish between good fats and bad fats. Good fats come from whole, natural, unprocessed sources. Fats turn bad when they are processed, or damaged by light, heat, oxygen or chemicals. A good example of this is partial hydrogenation, a process which gives oils longer shelf life, but in turn creates trans-fats, which are particularly harmful
Eating small amounts of natural fats coming from foods like avocados, nuts, and seeds can help you get full faster and provide the healthy fats your body needs.
