What Happens to Cholesterol If I Eat Too Much Fat?

If you eat too much of anything, including fat, it will cause you to
put on weight. As long as you practice moderation you can eat anything
you like – just be sure to keep your portions small. Eat when you are
hungry, chew your food completely and stop eating when you are full.
It is a very good idea to put down your knife and fork when you have a
mouthful of food, and not to pick them up again until you have
completely chewed and swallowed your mouthful. This way you avoid the
temptation of shoveling food down just because it is there on your
plate.

A balanced diet should include food from all types, so try to eat
variety of foods every day. Too much saturated fat can raise
cholesterol and has been linked to heart disease, so limit your
saturated fat intake to 20 grams a day and be sure to eat plenty of
roughage as well so that you can digest properly. It is not a good
idea to eat late in the evening, sit around watching TV then go to bed
if you are trying to lose weight – your body never gets a chance to
digest properly.
