"Fat is our friend! But the type of fat you eat matters! Almost everyone I know — doctors and patients and eaters alike — are all confused about fat and still hold on to myths and misinformation that prevents them from taking advantage of the latest science to lose weight and get healthy.

These are foods like wild fatty fish, nuts and seeds, olive oil, avocados, olives, and grass-fed meat."
