Fat Intake for Weight Loss

For decades, fatty foods have taken the heat for obesity, heart disease, and elevated cholesterol. According to Helpguide.org, which offers healthy diet and wellness guidelines, in the 1960s, Americans received 45% of their caloric intake from fat and 13% of the population was obese. Fast forward to the 21st century. Ironically, obesity rates have more than doubled in the past forty years. The diet conscious have cut their fat intake by 12%; however, more than 30% of people are tipping the scales and considered obese.
