Saturated vs Unsaturated Fats

 There are two different types of fat that we can consume in our diets. These two fats are saturated and unsaturated. A lot of people don't know the difference and just believe that fats are bad for the human diet and they stay away from it all together. Saturated fats can be broken down even deeper and the worst kind of fat for you is called Trans fat. Trans fat is found in fried foods, processed foods, and baked goods. These types of fats are known to be unhealthy and could raise cholesterol and cause other health issues. On the other hand, unsaturated fats are known as the " healthy fats " and these are avocados, certain cooking oils, fatty fish, and certain nuts and seeds.

Thank you for sharing the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats.

Fruit and vegetables in a healthy diet are there to give you some of your daily carbohydrates and are they main food group to give you your daily sugars. A lot of people view sugars as a bad thing to consume but that's only because you are getting them from candy, soda, and other horrible things for your health. Fruits and vegetables are natural sugars that your body breaks down much easier and are used for better energy. The recommended daily amount of fruits is 1 1/2 to 2 cups and the recommended daily amount of vegetables is 2 to 3 cups. If you begin to start eating the daily limit of both fruits and vegetables, you will begin to ...

Carnivore Diet

 The carnivore diet focuses on consuming primarily animal products, such as beef, chicken, fish, and eggs, while eliminating all plant-based foods.
