I don’t think fat is half as bad as all the sugars and carbs they put in all the processed foods though. The sugars and carbs will get turned into fat easily, but fat itself is harder to digest and a lot of it will just go out the “exit door” instead of getting absorbed, if your body doesn’t need it. I think if you cut out all the processed foods that are loaded up with extra sugars and carbs, and start eating meals you cook yourself, you can probably have all the fat you want without worrying too much.
I recall being in the hospital getting chemo for aml. I was already thin, so As I was losing weight I started to see there was some benefit in having a reserve. I looked at The ‘chunky’ nurses that took care of me in a different light.
