If you think you can lose weight by avoiding all fats, think again. Your body needs fat for proper growth & development. Key is moderation.

Fat is a valuable part of one's diet, allowing people to absorb nutrients that require fat in order to metabolize in the body. Although reducing dietary fat is important, eliminating all fat from your diet is not at all healthy. It's important for proper growth, development and keeping us healthy. The body cannot produce fat on its own; it must be provided through dietary intake. Therefore, you should enjoy some fats in your diet, especially monounsaturated fats like in olive oil. The key is moderation not elimination.
