Fats

Monounsaturated fats are said to be the healthiest fats? The decrease your total blood cholesterol but maintain the good HDL. MOST of you fat diet should come from these foods. \
some examples: almonds, hazelnuts, natural peanut butter, olive oil, pecans, sesame seeds and oil, pistachios. These are usually the food we love anyway, so that is good.
Some margarine can be included made from the above list. CAution though.

Polyunsaturated Fats somewhat healthy--lowers the LDL and HDL, so be careful here also.
corn oil, mayo, pumpkin and sunflower seeds.
Watch for a special group called Omega--heart healthy high fat fish, tuna, mackerel, salmon...also flax seeds and oil, hemp seed and oil, soybean walnuts.
