Trans fats, refined oils, hydrogenated, are probably the enemy.

Yup, it sure is healthy. Otherwise I wouldn´t be moving towards zero carb diet. Our ancestors fat mostly consisted of saturated fats. Our bodies are designed to handle large amounts of saturated fat which will produce ketones when broken down for energy. Although ketones are produced while consuming no carbs, they are perfect food for brain and the heart. Research shows that heart is capable to work 28% more efficiently on ketones than on glucose and brain works well on ketones! I remember that there is a drug for Alzheimer´s that uses ketones to treat/cure Alzheimer.

Saturated fat is a kind of fat found in the diet. Along with Trans-fat, it is one of the harmful fats. At room temperature, these lipids are usually solid. Saturated fat is found in butter, palm and coconut oils, cheese, and red meat. A diet high in saturated fat can contribute to heart disease and other health issues. The majority of foods include a mixture of fats.
You should eat foods high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are healthy. At room temperature, these lipids are usually liquid.

• Fats should account for no more than 25% to 30% of your daily calorie intake.
• Limit saturated fats to fewer than 7% of your total daily calories to further lower your risk of heart disease.
• If you have heart disease or high cholesterol, your doctor may advise you to reduce saturated fat consumption further.
