One of the more dangerous dietary trends today is the low
fat or no fat obsession.
Look at the grocery stores shelves and you'll see
thousands of products that are touted as low-fat, non-fat
or reduced fat.
But what so many fat-resistant people don't realize is
that ALL fat is not the enemy.
Just the bad fats are.
Bad fats are saturated fats and trans fats. These fats
raise your cholesterol, clog your arteries, pack on the
pounds and shorten your life.
Here's a quick low down on the bad fats:
1) Saturated fats: These come from animals - all types of
meat and dairy products (including lard, butter and cream).
Other sources are palm and palm kernal oil.
2) Trans-fats: They come from hydrogenated or partially
hydrogenated oils (like shortening and margarine).
Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils are used in
most processed snack foods, cookies, side dishes, snack
cakes and most bakery goods.
Now, food manufacturers know that people are leery of
fats, and since they want to make sure their profits stay
high, they create low-fat or non-fat versions of their
products. You'll even see them proudly proclaim "No Trans
Fats!" on many of the labels and boxes.
What they fail to tell you is that in place of the fat,
they've put in...
Sugars.
That's right. Lots and lots of sugars. They've got to
make the stuff taste good somehow, and sugar does the
trick. Remember, low-fat or non-fat doesn't mean zero
calories.
And most times the sugar comes in the form of high
fructose corn syrup--the single worst form of sugar on the
planet.
So it's basically smoke and mirrors..."It's GOOD for you!"
Uhhhh, no.
They also add artificial flavorings and chemicals when
sugar won't do.
Bottom line here is to stay away from foods with bad fats
AND their low-fat or non-fat cousins--neither will allow
you to have any measure of decent health so you can do all
the fun, wonderful things you want to do in your very long
life.
Now for the good fats:
Good fats play a VITAL role in our bodies, and not getting
enough of them leads to nutritional deficiency,
inflammation and tissue degeneration.
Here are just some of the amazing things good fats do:
* They help construct cell membranes, produce hormones and
eliminate acidity.
* They protect your organs, help keep you warm and help
your body absorb nutrients.
* They lubricate your joints, provide energy and help
protect against heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke,
arteriosclerosis and blood clots.
* They can help relieve arthritis, asthma, PMS, allergies,
skin problems and behavioral disorders.
* They boost brain function.
Good fats are also called essential fatty acids,
monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
Raw (not roasted) nuts, seeds and avocados are all great
sources of good fats.
Fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring and trout are
also sources of good fats.
Good fat oils include olive oil, safflower oil, soybean
oil, borage oil, fish oil, evening primrose oil and
grapeseed oil.
Just remember, these oils are good unless they have been
hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated. Then, they are
very, very bad.
When shopping for oils, look for those that are cold-
pressed and are in a dark container. --they have not been
subjected to heating, are the freshest and are less likely
to be rancid.
The recipes in the Great Taste No Pain system feature
good, healthy oils and natural good fat food sources. The
manuals also provide suggestions for delicious alternatives
(to bad fats like margarine and shortening).
You don't need to make all fat your enemy any longer. Let
Great Taste No Pain be your guide to enjoying health-
enhancing good fats.

PS: Allison is no longer afraid of the "what if" of
diverticulosis:
*******************
Hi Sherry,
My name is Allison and I am 44 years old. I started
having symptoms of Diverticulosis and was diagnosed at
about 32 years of age.
Since then I have eaten horribly, then going on a healthy
binge, then eating horribly again for years. Over the past
few years I have experienced intense pain intermittently.
Recently the pain and bloat begin to come more often and
the realization that if I do not make changes I am in a
very dangerous situation.
I was also suffering so much from indigestion and starting
to rely on Tums. I am a single mother of 2 and terrified
of what may come of this.
My mother had Diverticulitis and had surgery for a
blockage with a colostomy bag for 6 months. I never want
to experience that however I really have never known how to
eat properly.
I have used your plan and I can tell you that the bloat is
nearly all gone. I can actually hold my stomach in (it's a
girl thing) :) and not be in pain.
The sharp terrible pain is gone and I feel like I have
lost a few lbs already. AND NO HEARTBURN.
I feel like for the first time ever, I have someone who
can really teach me how to eat properly so I can stop being
so afraid of the "what if."
Also, I am changing the eating habits of my 13 and 10 year
old through this as well. I am so excited to see what I
can plan for meals and enjoy eating in the future.
