You do not need to avoid all fats. Fats are extremely important to your health as long as it comes from the right sources. Monounsaturated fats are the kind that are good for you as they contain the omega 3 fatty acids. Saturated fats are the kind of fats that can clog your arteries with plaque. And worst kind of saturated fat are trans fats. You’ve probably seen a lot of packaged and low fat products these days with the label “no trans fats”. But what you may not know is that as long as there is less than .5g of trans fats per serving the FDA legally allows them to state it as having no trans fats. So if one serving is equal to one cookie and that cookie has .5g of trans fats, it can actually say on the packet that it has no trans fats. Four cookies later, and you’ve just consumed 2 grams of trans fat. That can seriously mess up your hormones and clog your arteries. So how can you tell if a “no trans fat” product has some hidden trans fats? Look at the ingredients list for “vegetable shortenings” or “partially hydrogenated oils” rather than the presence of trans fats on labels. When you eat trans fats they get stored in your cells and interfere with cellular communications. But the good news is you can rid your cells of trans fats by eliminating them from your diet and replacing them with natural healthy fats. To speed the process you can try our Metabolic Rejuvenation detox pack combined with regular exercise.
