Good fats vs. bad fats

[dominikdo]

Can you explain to me the difference between good fats and bad fats and why it matters how much of each i should be getting in my diet. I was under the impression that all fat was the same and should be counted together. Can you give me an example of good fats vs. bad fats.

bad fats give you cancer and are stored as bodyfat
good fats make your heart healthy and make you live longer

all fat is NOT the same!

good fats come from nature AND are unprocessed and unrefined. that is the rule of thumb to follow

fat is VERY important in our diets. fat blunts insulin spikes, it also is nutritious for our bodies. this is why so many guys do keto.

the normal american gets ZERO good fats in their diet, that is why we have such an obesity and heart health problem
