FAQ on the Montignac Method
Question 2
How can we distinguish between recommended fats and fats which are not advisable?
Answer
Fats are metabolized differently depending on the nature of their fatty acids.
- Saturated fats (meat, butter, milk products…) can be stored easily since they do not suffer any metabolic changes.
- Monounsaturated fats (olive oil, goose fat, avocado) have the advantage that they reduce glycemia and are not easily stored by our bodies since they first have to be transformed.
- Polyunsaturated fats (fish Omega 3) are not likely to get stored. What’s more, the energy needed to metabolize unsaturated fats is greater than the calories they contain.
