On the Atkins diet, you may well end up eating less fat than you did before, even though you are eating a larger amount of meat, fish, fowl, eggs and butter. Read up on scientific studies. There is much scientific evidence to refute the claim that fat is the primary cause of heart disease, cancer and other chronic illnesses. Indulge - eat butter, cream and the skin on the chicken. Avoid hydrogenated fats.
Hydrogenation occurs when vegetable oil is changed from a liquid to a solid.
This changes the chemical bonds so that the fat is no longer healthy to eat. Margarine is a common example of a hydrogenated fat. Avoid heating vegetable oils to high temperatures. This can alter their bonds. Control your blood sugar.
