HI LAbby

I wouldn't worry about the breakdown on the "type" of fats your having too much. POly, mono and Sat are the differnet types of fat that exist. I do advocate trying to aim for more monounsaturated fats than saturated fats. Saturated fats come from animal sources like your pork, chicken beef, dairy, eggs. BUt the mono and poly UNsaturated fats come from plant sources like olive oil, avocados, and nuts. I would try to stick with getting more of those than the animal kind. I have read extensively on this and think gettin more OLive is better than lard or butter.

Also I am staying FAR FAR away from DELI meats. Its processed junk. Full of chemicals, nitrates, salt and additives. ANd most deli meats have sugar. I noticed that the first time I did atkins whenever I ate deli it would stall me. I would suggest to not eat too much of it if at all. jst my opinion,

Piera
