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.
