Frequently Asked Questions

Is eating fat bad for you?

No. Dietary fat is essential for absorbing vitamins (A, D, E, K), brain function, and hormone production. The *type* of fat matters (prioritize unsaturated fats).

Will eating fat make me fat?

Weight gain is primarily driven by a caloric surplus, not just eating fat. However, because fat is calorie-dense, it is easier to overconsume calories from high-fat foods.
