Fats that make you healthy...

Some of the good fats:

Avocados

Nuts (raw and unsalted)

Seeds

Olives

Olive oil (unheated)

Coconut oil 

Incorporating some of these good fats into your diet every day (along with plenty of fresh vegetables) will make a difference to your health. Fats are vital for your health and cell turnover so (unless you are detoxing) include these everyday, most of these ingredients are included in my quick and easy recipes so stay tuned...

I never count calories or limit my fat intake, as these are the foods that make me feel full and give me strong skin, hair and nails.

For recovery from cancer and degenerative diseases it has been said that avoiding ALL fats is good for recovery, I am not an expert but take a look at Gerson therapy: http://gerson.org/GersonTherapy/gersontherapy.htm.
