Limiting oils and added fats from "summary" of The Engine 2 Diet by Rip Esselstyn

When it comes to oils and added fats, it's important to understand their impact on your health. While some fats are necessary for our bodies to function properly, it's easy to overdo it and consume more than we need. This can lead to weight gain, clogged arteries, and increased risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes. In the Engine 2 Diet, we focus on limiting oils and added fats in order to promote optimal health and well-being. By cutting back on these sources of fat in your diet, you can lower your overall calorie intake and reduce your risk of developing these serious health conditions. This doesn't mean you have to completely eliminate fats from your diet, but rather be mindful of the types and amounts you consume. One of the main sources of added fats in our diets comes from processed and packaged foods. These products are often loaded with unhealthy fats like trans fats and saturated fats, which can wreak havoc on our bodies. By avoiding these processed foods and opting for whole, plant-based foods instead, you can significantly reduce your intake of harmful fats and improve your health. In addition to avoiding processed foods, it's important to be mindful of the oils you cook with and use in your meals. While some oils like olive oil and coconut oil have been touted as healthy options, they are still high in calories and can contribute to weight gain if consumed in excess. Instead, try using alternatives like vegetable broth, water, or non-stick cooking spray to sauté your vegetables and cook your meals. By making simple swaps and being mindful of the sources of fats in your diet, you can easily limit your intake of oils and added fats without sacrificing flavor or satisfaction in your meals. This small change can have a big impact on your health and well-being in the long run. So, next time you're in the kitchen, think about how you can reduce the amount of fats in your meals and make choices that will benefit your body in the long term.
