Hi Loribell:

Personally, I don't enjoy eating the skin and rind. Ever since I was a kid. Furthermore, if you are eating conventional meats (as opposed to organic), the toxins get stored in the fat (and liver). Not an issue for most people though.

I don't think it's a big issue as long as you make sure you are eating enough fat. You will need to be a little more diligent about adding fat into your foods. Log your food onto fitday.com and make sure you are getting about approx 65-75% fat. You'll need a scale though. The best gift for myself was a digital postal scale (from Business Depot). It made life so much easier.

For you, why is the fat "unwanted"? You might want to clarify that. If you are concerned about fats, check out the following link:
