couple of fat questions.

[capone_22]

hey everyone,
Just trying to fine tune my diet a bit. I posted it a couple of weeks ago.

just a couple of questions.

1. Is it bad to mix good and bad fats in the same meal? If i have bacon or a steak which has saturated fat, if the amount is not much can I still add a healthy fat (ie flax or olive) in the same meal?

2. Are trans fat ok even if I neatralize them with good fats? I just want to add some onion/sour cream with my tuna

thanks. Diet is going good by the way, just looking for a little more options.

As long as you have healthy fats to equal out the "bad" fats and keep insulin surges w/fats @ bay, you will be fine in including them both, whether that be together or seperate.

i would still watch trans fats....they're known to be carcinogens

they're known to be carcinogens

Isn't "everything" we see on the news/media bad for you in some
way/shape/form? I wouldn't stress over it.

Exhaust from the car in front of you is supposed to take about 4 mins of your life each time you breathe it, but you don't see people quit driving.

thanks for the replies SC and bigs...

just to clarify something swole...
you mean keep insulin surges at bay by utilizing pro/fat meals or does fat cause an insulin surge? just confused a bit...
thanks...

You were right, by utilizing the pro/fat meals, and carbs WHEN you purposely wish to spike slin. (Some can use low gi carbs to keep slin @ bay as well, but this is usually on "maintenance" w/reduced cardio, not an all out cutting approach)
