The Proof with Simon Hill
Navigating Saturated Fat in Your Diet
Understanding saturated fat is essential to health. Guidelines recommend limiting saturated fat intake to 10% of total calories or around 22 grams per day. Reading labels on foods can help stay within this limit. Foods high in saturated fat include fatty meats, butter, coconut oil, creams, and full-fat dairy. Cocoa is an exception that has a neutral effect on blood lipids. It's advised to opt for lean meats, avoid butter and creams, and choose low-saturated fat alternatives. Plant-based diets naturally have lower saturated fat content. Keeping saturated fat intake to 5 grams or less per serving is a good rule. Monitoring APOB or LDL cholesterol levels helps determine dietary impact, as genetic factors can influence saturated fat tolerance.
