Don’t fear the fats. Dropping your fat intake actually increases your BMI. One of the biggest nutrition myths that has been perpetrated for decades is that dietary fat contributes to obesity. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. If we lower the amount of fat we take in, we often wind up adding more carbs to compensate, and we know that more carbs leads to more fat. But increased consumption of healthy mono-saturated fats, like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil, actually controls weight gain. Bottom line: eat fat, get fit.
