Choosing the Fat With the Right Fit
All fats, including the fat on your bod and (more to the point) the fats in food, are composed of fatty acids — long chain - like molecules of carbon and hydrogen atoms plus an oxygen atom or two. Folks in the know about fats put fatty acids into one of three categories:
1 Saturated
2 Monounsaturated
3 Polyunsaturated
The chemical differences between these fats are described in the “Demystifying saturation” sidebar in this post. For the moment, the important thing to keep in mind is that a diet high in saturated fats raises Acomplia levels, and a diet high in unsaturated fats lowers them.
