I do not think we should eliminate fats from our diets. Fats are an essential part to our diet, like a well oiled machine. fats play key role in our body.

According to www.webmd.com,2008, fats are an essential part of our diet and it is a requirement for a daily consumption."Fats are an important part of a healthy diet: They provide essential fatty acids, keep our skin soft, deliver fat-soluble vitamins, and are a great source of energizing fuel. But it's easy to get confused about good fats vs. bad fats, how much fat we should eat, how to avoid artery-clogging trans fats, and the role omega-3 fatty acids play in heart health.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's 2005 Dietary Guidelines recommend that adults get 20%-35% of their calories from fats. At a minimum, we need at least 10% of our calories to come from fat.". Those obese people are fat, this fat did not come about by eating fatty foods such as nuts, and avocados. Weight gain takes place when there's an overconsumption of too many calories.

Increasing of protein in one's diet is a good idea for over weight people, as protein helps to curb hunger. Too much protein, however, is not a good thing either. Too much protein produces ketones. Ketones are toxic. The kidneys will then have to go in overdrive to release the ketones. The body also loses water when trying to excrete ketones which lead to dehydration!

I think proteins do contain many nutritious values. Protein helps the muscle repair itself. Iron is also found in protein enriched foods such as meat and beans. Unsaturated fats are great for the body as they provide nutrients to the body. The bad fat or trans fat ( fried foods especially) are very bad for the body.
