Discover the truth about fats without losing your sense of humor (or your life).
At CAPPA Health Management, we once had a client named Dave who thought avoiding fats meant he could live on protein shakes and lean steaks guilt-free. (Spoiler: He couldn’t.) After a few too many energy crashes and a cholesterol level that would give a doctor hypertension, Dave learned the hard truth: Not all fats are created equal. Some are life-giving, and others… well, trans fats will just kill you. Ready to laugh your way to better health? 2 Min read

The Fat Misconception (aka The Great Fat Lie)
Here’s the deal: Fats have been unfairly demonized. People think all fats are evil, like some kind of dietary supervillain. But according to Harvard Public Health, replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats can reduce heart disease risk by up to 27%. So, no, fats aren’t out to get you—except trans fats. Those guys are the real bastards.
Are you still avoiding fats like they’re your ex?
Time to let go and embrace the good ones.

3 Tips to Outsmart the Bad Fats (and Not Die)
Ditch the Trans Fats (They’re Not Chemically Confused, Just Deadly)
Trans fats are like that friend who always ruins the party. They’re hiding in processed foods, ready to clog your arteries and ruin your day. Swap them for monounsaturated fats (think olive oil, avocados, and nuts).
Pro Tip: If the ingredient list says “partially hydrogenated oils,” run. Just run.
Omega-3s: The Superheroes of Fats
Omega-3s are the Avengers of the fat world. Found in salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds, they fight inflammation and keep your heart happy. Plus, they make you feel like a health guru.
Pro Tip: Add walnuts to your oatmeal. It’s like giving your breakfast a cape.
Read Labels Like Your Life Depends on It (Because It Does)
If you’re not reading food labels, you’re basically playing Russian roulette with your health. Avoid anything with “trans fats” or “partially hydrogenated oils.” Your heart will thank you.
Pro Tip: If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it. (Yes, this rules out most of the snack aisle.)
What’s your fat strategy:
Hero or Villain? Choose wisely.

A Success Story (Because We Love a Happy Ending)
One of our CAPPA Health Management clients, let’s call her Karen, swapped her trans-fat-loaded snacks for avocado toast and salmon salads. Three months later, her cholesterol dropped, and she had enough energy to outrun her kids. (Okay, maybe not outrun, but at least keep up.)
Could your nutrition use a glow-up?
Or are you cool with being a couch potato?
