Introduction

Fat, also known as lipid, is a necessary part of good nutrition, especially the monosaturated, unsaturated, and vegetable types. However, there are certain conditions where the total amount of fat should be reduced significantly. In these cases, one must consider carefully all the foods ingested as many, especially the processed and prepared foods, may contain a significant amount of fat. Read the food labels, as the fat content of the food will be listed there. Check with your physician as to the total recommended number of grams of fat that should be ingested each day. The following are the major disorders where a low fat diet may be warranted.
