Did you know that your physical appearance won't necessarily match the amount of good fats and bad fats you consume? Meaning that a thin person can be unhealthy and an overweight person can be healthy. Have you ever heard of skinny fat? It's people who are thin, but are unhealthy because their overall health is pretty poor.

Last week we covered the controversial topic of carbs. Today, we're talking all about FAT. In Healthy Eating Challenge I teach you the good, the bad and the ugly of the 4 different types of fat. Basically, there are good fats, bad fats and a couple inbetween. We go pretty in-depth in the challenge but......

Let's jump right in. to the goodness of fat!

The bad: Trans Fat

You probably already knew this right?

This is the WORST kind of fat. Trans Fat is also known as shortening or Partially Hydrogenated Oils (PHO's).

It contains a bunch of chemicals and takes your body a long time to break down.

If you have a lot of Trans Fat in your body from over consumption and processed foods, it also makes it harder for you to get rid of toxins.

If you’re trying to loose any weight, back away from trans fat. In fact, just run in the opposite direction. "What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!"

Did you know that even the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) has finally found PHO's harmful enough that they're requiring food companies to stop using it as an ingredient!?

The only thing is -- there's a catch. There are still loop holes companies can use to include PHO's or other very similar ingredients in their foods. This means that although the FDA is moving in a positive direction, you still need to take it upon yourself to be educated and to know what to eat and what not to eat.

Trans fat is found in foods like:

• Cakes
• Frozen Pizzas
• Girl Scout Cookies (#sorrynotsorry)

• Margarine
• Ready to use dough
• Spam

The good: MUFA's

Mu - what? What the heck is a MUFA? It stands for Mono Unsaturated Fatty Acids. Now you know why I use the abbreviation. : )

We like MUFA’s. They target belly fat, lower bad cholesterol, enhance blood and heart function and help “clean out” your system so you shed excess fat faster. Pretty sweet, huh? The bad fat makes it harder to lose weight, and the good fat actually helps get healthy from the inside out, not just drop weight.

Another benefit of MUFA's -- they help prevent diseases. Something 'Merica needs for sure!

MUFA's are found in foods like:

• Avocados
• Nuts/Nut Butter (e.g. Almond or Peanut Butter)
• Olives

• Pesto Sauce
• Seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, etc.)
• Real Soybeans (non gmo)
