How can I avoid saturated fat in my diet?

Question

I don't eat chips and junk food like that, but my saturated fat intake is still high. What other foods are high in saturated fat?

Answer 1

Foods high in saturated fats are meats (esp. beef, duck, lamb, and pork), oils (like butter), dairy (2% milk, whole milk, cheese that isn't nonfat). I encourage you to look at your Nutrition Facts label on the food you eat. If you are in control of what is bought at the store, plan on spending time in the grocery store so you can analyze what you normall buy BEFORE you put it in your cart. If you don't bring the bad stuff home, you'll be much better off controlling your diet.

Answer 2

Any diet needs to be balanced. Saturated fat, per se, is not a killer. You probably consume a lot of modified corn starch, MSG and other harmful ingredients in your foods every day (just look at the labels). These are significantly worse for you than minor amount of saturated fat you may get from moderate consumption of natural meat.

Remember: often it is how much you eat, and not what you eat. And what you eat needs to be balanced, so you always get your vitamins, proteins and starches from preferably natural foods.
