A healthy diet consists of consuming the Right fats (not strictly low fats). Healthy fats are essential for our well-being.
Good fats include monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which come mainly from plants and fish.
Examples include:
- Nuts
- Fish

Examples include:
- Fried foods (french fries, doughnuts, fried chicken)
- Fast food
- Commercial baked goods (cakes, pies and cookies)
