Fat

Different kinds of fat make up the rest of your meal plan
Monounsaturated fat includes fats such as canola and olive oils
Polyunsaturated fats are found in corn and safflower oils
Saturated fat is usually solid at room temperature and is found mostly in animal products, such as butter and meat, but also in tropical oils, such as coconut and palm kernel oil. Less than 7% of your total daily calories should come from saturated fat

“I, too, have been recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I view this diagnosis as having an upside. I am now exercising more and eating better.”
