As a low carb dieter, your diet is undoubtedly high in fat. Andif you've done research on the different types of fats, youprobably heard the two big buzz words surrounding fatstoday--"good fats" and "bad fats." Up to that point, you mayhave thought all fats were bad--or good, but only for low carbdieters. In this article, I am going to go over which fats are "good"and which fats are "bad"--and how much of each you shouldconsume with your low carb diet. Let's start with "bad" fats. 1. Saturated fats. As a low carb dieter, you will run into these often. Saturatedfats are in fatty meat cuts, cheese, milk, and poultry withskin. Many low carb diets, such as Atkins, have suggested inthe past that dieters consume saturated fats, but most nowinsist that dieters consume more "good fats." Saturated fats increase bad cholesterol (LDL), which can causeheart disease and certain types of cancer. If your low carbdiet is high in saturated fats, you should consider scalingthis back to a level that satiates your cravings, but doesn'tjeopardize your health. 2. Hydrogenated Fats (trans-fats). Hydrogenated fats are man-made, but they take on many of thetraits of saturated fats. They are specifically re-engineeredto stay hard at room temperature. You can find hydrogenated fats in sweets and cookies, which youmost likely will not be eating on your low carb diet; however,you can also find it in any margarine products, so it isimportant to check the ingredient labels on food productsbefore you purchase them. Now, for the "good" fats: 1. Monounsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats are natural fats that lower "bad"cholesterol (LDL) and prevent "good" cholesterol (HDL) fromgetting lower. As a low carb dieter, you will probablyencounter a lot of monounsaturated fats in the form of canolaoil, olive oil, peanut oil, and nuts Not only are these sources carb-free or low carb, but most ofthem are also high in protein, promote good heart health, andmay reduce the risk of some cancers. 2. Polyunsaturated fats. Polyunsaturated fats are also natural fats. They come in twomajor groupings: Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. As a low carbdieter, you can find Omega-3 in most types of fatty fish, suchas salmon and trout; Omega-6 fatty acids can be found in mostseed oils. Omega fatty acids help to reduce bad cholesterol, promote brainhealth, and reduce incidence of sudden death from heart attacks. As a low carb dieter, you will encounter a lot of fats. It isimportant that you eat saturated fats to satiate your hungerand prevent cravings, but you should also focus primarily on"good" fats--poly and monounsaturated fats--to increase your"good cholesterol," lower your bad cholesterol," and preventcertain types of cancer.
