The 4 Commonsense Answers
to The 4 Most Common Questions


By Dr. Leslie Van Romer

 

4. “But isn’t olive oil a good fat?”

Answer #1: Your body makes all the fats it needs, with only two exceptions which are sourced by a variety of plant foods. Therefore, it serves no purpose whatsoever to add more fat to the ready-made fat, especially highly concentrated, refined oils that come without any nutrition. All added oils, even olive oil, offer you one thing only: calories, and those calories come with a fat price tag – more fat to add to hips, tummies, thighs, and arms. That makes olive oil a bad fat.

Answer #2: Look to nature for simple answers. Where do elephants get their necessary fats? Olive, canola, or flax seed oil? Of course not. Plant foods provide all of our essential nutrients, including fats. Grapefruits contain 2% fat, oranges 4% fat, oatmeal 15% fat, broccoli 9% fat, apples 4% fat, Romaine lettuce 10% fat, and cabbage 6% fat.

Am I implying that you “have to” give up meat, cheese, goodies, and Queen olive? Not at all. I’m simply saying that they are choices, not necessities, which sabotage weight loss, health, and fitness.
