Many of us, doctors and laypeople alike, were taught that red
meat and fat, and especially saturated
fats, are to be avoided. We still hear that they cause all
sorts of problems, including high cholesterol, heart disease
and weight gain. However, if you carefully study the research,
you will see that it shows the opposite to be true. Saturated
fat is a vital nutrient and is necessary for good health. In
order for your body to properly use fat-soluble vitamins, you
need to have the fat in your foods. Calcium, too, needs fats
for proper absorption.
So if you eat things like virgin coconut
oil & raw butter at your meals, you will increase your absorption
of the vitamins and minerals contained in your foods. This in
turn may not only help you be healthier, but may help you to lose
weight. It seems that many people overeat because the foods
they are consuming are not
providing them with the nutrients that they need.

Diet Food Website.
