Diet Tip #8

Use oils that are less refined like olive oil. The corn, sunflower and safflower oils are highly refined and contain preservatives that are difficult for your liver to break down. For a more information on this go back to September when I wrote about good and bad fat.

Remember that most of the oils that you buy at the grocery store contain hydrogenated fats and that is what you definitely want to avoid.

Be concerned about the kind of fat you eat rather than the amount of fat you're eating. The best fats are found in omega 3 foods like fish and flax seed oil. Avoid fried foods, margarine and foods that contain hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fats or oils in them.
