If you want to lose weight, don't be a (Dietary) fat phobic!
The mainstream advice on dietary fat has been less is best; we now know that this approach is incorrect. Dietary fat, far from being an evil substance that will cause you to keel over from heart disease, is an important component of a fat loss diet and is necessary to maintain optimal health.
Instead of trying to minimize or eliminate fat from your diet, make sure that you get enough. Choose fats from food sources rich in Omega 3 fatty acids (such as salmon, sardines, eggs, and olive oil); these have been shown to protect against heart disease and may aid in the oxidation of body fat.
Eating vegetables with a little fat (like a pat of butter) will allow you to absorb a greater percentage of the vitamins contained in them.
Finally, when restricting carbohydrates (particularly starchy carbs like potatoes and grains), making sure you get enough dietary fat will combat moodiness and energy swings as your body switches from predominantly burning sugar to predominantly burning stored body fat.
Perhaps the most common error made on low-carb diets is restriction of both carbs and fat. You need enough fat intake to ensure satiety (fullness) and to fuel your body’s processes.

many people the hardest part of any fitness program is getting
started. Sometimes we place too much pressure on ourselves and
rather than doing something, no matter how small that might be, we
end up doing nothing at all.
