Weight Loss & Fats

From a calorie viewpoint, all oils are equally fattening.
They contain 120 calories per tablespoon.

For optimum weight loss, reduce your overall fat/oil consumption to a sensible level: 25-30 percent of calories is very good; although 20-25 per cent is better; while fats expert Udo Erasmus advocates 15-20 per cent.

Restrict your consumption of saturated fat to a minimum.
