Lets Begin!
The first thing we are going to ask you to do is for you to go into your pantry, freezer, and refridgerator and eliminate all food that has any trans fat in it. Once you have completed week one and you now know healthy fats versus unhealthy fats, go out and buy some tasty snacks full of good fats. We suggest snacking on low fat cottage cheese with honey and walnuts. Now that you know trans fats are bad from the start, click below to learn why exactly they are so dangerous and to learn more about other fats.
