So if i`m not eating meat I have to replace the protein. I`m told to eat nuts...but then again don`t squirrels eat nuts to get fat! I do not want chipmunk cheeks at the end of the week!
So here is what I learned : bad fat give you the cholestoral. If you can see the fat in solid form it's bad. Like the lard on a steak.
Bad fats (saturated and trans) raise the levels of bad cholesterol. Moreover, bad fat-containing foods also tend to be high in cholesterol (so you get a double whammy: you eat cholesterol and the bad fats raise your cholesterol). Trans fats also lower good cholesterol.
Nuts have the good fat but don't over do it: Good fats (mono and poly-unsaturated) don’t raise bad cholesterol and, when eaten in moderation, actually are beneficial.
Walnuts are the best for you.
Go nuts for nuts is what I say!
