Polyunsaturated Fat may be healthier than saturated fat, but too much of it has been linked to some cancers. Polyunsaturated fats are high in most salad oils, such as safflower and corn oil. Use them if you will, but don't over do it. (Our Lady Rating: 3 fat blobs*) Monounsaturated Fat is the healthiest type of fat. In moderate amounts it may lower "bad" cholesterol and raise "good" cholesterol. Canola and olive oil are rich in monounsaturated fats. While monosaturated fat is "good," you should still use it in moderation. (Our Lady Rating: 1 fat blob*) Hydrogenated Fat (a.k.a. Transfatty Acids) is oil that has been processed. Crisco is hydrogenated fat. It can clog the arteries. The body turns hydrogenated fats into cholesterol, just like it does saturated fat. Avoid it! (Our Lady Rating: 5 fat blobs*) Essential Fats are good for you and you should eat a little every day. Omega-6 fatty acids are easy to get from almost any vegetable oil, such as safflower or corn oil. Omega-3 fats do good things . They lower cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure. Omega-3 fats are found only in fish and canola and flaxseed oils. (Our Lady Rating: 1 fat blob*) (*The lower the fat blob rating, the better.)
Warning: Just because Peanut Butter and Olive Oil are in the 'good' column doesn't mean you should go hog wild and eat them in unlimited amounts. FICTION: Tofu and veggie burgers are
low in fat so I can eat twice as much! * * * Dear OLofWL, HELP! I am day 7 of my new WOL;
no sugar, no white flour. The withdrawal is killing me....mood
swings, irritable, sad etc...I hear that the sugar cravings
stop, but when??? Your website (you) is so inspiring. Thanks.
Dear Sugar Free Debra, I did a bit of research, as - I confess - I am not sugar-free. It is my understanding that one must go off sugar slowly, moving from white sugar to brown sugar. Also, remember to eat green vegetables and be sure to eat three meals a day. Withdrawal from sugar may feel like withdrawal from a drug. Both sugar and narcotics elevate our beta-endorphin levels. When we stop using them, our brain sends out signals for more. Yes, this can create mood swings. And thanks for your kind words. Our Lady loves a compliment!~ OLofWL How you doin'? Write Our Lady. * * * Members In the News Jose de Jesus' hauntingly beautiful photograph "Angelique" (a schooner taken on a foggy day in Maine), is up for "Artist of the Month" honors on the Peter Harper Art site.
