There are some people who would imagine that a no-fat diet will make them both healthier and thinner, but our consumption of the essential fatty acids has a direct bearing on our ability to burn calories. The next article will emphasize the important of so called "good fats"!
At the end of the article you will find some good oil for consumption..

Understanding the role of essential fatty acids is a key to achieving optimal weight.
We must consume essential fatty acids every day because our bodies cannot synthesize them. Flaxseed oil and cold water fish are the richest sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
The Essential Fatty Acids
The essential fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the body, and they must be consumed daily. Every cell in the body requires a daily supply of essential fatty acids. These fatty acids form the membranes of each of the billions of cells in our bodies. They control the way in which cholesterol works in our systems.
The essential fatty acids are the only fats that become prostaglandins, and prostaglandins play a vital role in regulating the functions of our vital systems (cardiovascular, immune, digestive and reproductive). Prostaglandins directly control our body heat, our ability to burn calories, inflammation and healing, and the functioning of the brain.
Numerous degenerative diseases are caused by omega-3 fatty acid deficiencies such as heart disease, cancer, arthritis, skin problems, immune system disorders and mental illness. Flaxseed oil is the richest source of omega-3 fatty acids. Dr. Johanna Budwig, a German Nobel Prize nominee, demonstrated through clinical work that many contemporary diseases are the result of fatty degeneration and essential fatty acid deficiencies. As early as 1953, Dr. Budwig prescribed four ounces of nonfat cottage cheese and three tablespoons of fresh flax oil per day for three months. She reported that this addition to the diet of her cancer patients changed the yellow-green protein substance in their blood into a red blood pigment or hemoglobin.
Flax seed and flaxseed oil are beneficial in treating the symptoms of arthritis, which often occur with autoimmune disorders. Since omega-3 fatty acid deficiencies are common in our culture, people need to seek the best sources of omega-3. Flaxseed oil is the best source of linolenic acid, an omega-3 precursor and is beneficial for people with omega-3 deficiency-related fatty degeneration.
Dark green leafy vegetables are also an excellent source. Cold-water fish are an excellent source of EPA and DHA, which are omega-3 derivatives.
When our bodies are healthy, they are able to manufacture these derivatives. When we are in a degenerative state or if we are deficient in any of the micronutrients, our bodies cannot manufacture the derivatives of linolenic acid (omega-3) or linoleic acid (omega-6). I recommend Alaskan red salmon as an excellent source of EPA and DHA (omega-3 derivatives), which produce physiological changes faster than the parent EFAs that are found in vegetables.
Borage seed oil, evening primrose oil and black currant seed oil are sources of GLA, an omega-6 derivative.
Extra-virgin olive oil is an excellent source of omega-9.
GLA is used in the treatment of arthritis, allergies, multiple sclerosis, cancer and PMS.
Extra virgin olive oil is the richest source of monounsaturated fats, and it is important in raising the good cholesterol (HDL) and lowering the bad cholesterol (LDL). Extra-virgin olive oil also reduces gastric acidity.
None of the oils should be heated.
Never use margarine or any oil that has been hydrogenated. Hydrogenation chemically alters oils by adding hydrogen atoms, which saturate the unsaturated fats. Our bodies have no effective means of dealing with these products.
