Fat in the Diet: Healthy Choices Without the Hype
Fat has long been one of the most misunderstood parts of nutrition. For years, the message was “avoid fat at all costs.” However, the truth is that fat plays a crucial role in health, supporting the absorption of vitamins, hormones, and even brain function. The problem isn’t fat itself, but the type and amount consumed.
This episode of Real World Nutrition explores the facts about dietary fat, free from the noise of diet culture. It breaks down the differences between unsaturated, saturated, and trans fats, explains how they impact health, and addresses common myths, such as “all fat is bad” or “coconut oil is a superfood.” Practical advice is provided for selecting oils, balancing fat intake, and creating satisfying meals that support overall health.
Listeners will walk away with clarity on which fats belong in the kitchen, which ones to limit, and how to make confident choices at the grocery store.
