If Fat Is A Macronutrient, Then We Must Need It…

Getting Comfortable With FAT!

Fat is a Macronutrient, so by definition this means we need a certain percentage of our diet to consist of Fat!  So that you can better understand this statement let me provide two definitions, Nutrient and Macronutrient:

Nutrient (definition) -a chemical that an organism needs to live and grow or a substance used in an organism’s metabolism which must be taken in from its environment.  Nutrients are the substances that enrich the body (Wikipedia, 2010).

Macronutrient (definition) -Nutrients needed in large quantities (Wikipedia, 2010).

So if Fat is a nutrient that our body needs in large quantities in order to exist and operate efficiently why is it so demonized in our society.  The reasoning for this occurrence is that just like many natural available substances, we have chosen to overindulge in the worst types of FAT.  In the video above and in my Facebook Fan Page article “Simple Science – The Truth About Fats“ I have provided you with enough information to get you eating the right type of Fats in the proper quantity.
