It is good to eat Fats

Hello everyone

So so sorry I haven't blogged in a while, my days seem to be a bit of a blur lately..

I was reading an article on good fats and bad fats and although I may of been eating a few of those baddies lately it was good to read that fats are good, well good fats are... In a world where we are told to eat everything in low fats I think it is healthy for us to know that not all fats are bad for us..

I have listed some good fats and bad fats for you as well as put the link for the article.. Hope you find it as interesting as I did!!
