For many years we have been told over and over again that fat is unhealthy, and most people actually do believe it. Therefore, in an attempt to be "healthy," many people avoid eating fat. When I work with clients who claim they eat "healthy" I always ask them to explain what that means. The typical responses I hear are: "I never eat fatty red meats, only chicken or fish once or twice a week." "I don't use butter or eggs because I'm watching my cholesterol." "My doctor told me to use margarine to avoid the heart disease that runs in my family." "I'm trying to lose weight so I count fat grams, and buy everything fat-free."
