If you're following a very low-fat diet to improve your health, you might want to try this trick: Add the equivalent of one tablespoon of fat to each meal, as long as it's healthy fat like olive oil, seeds, nuts or fish.
Why? Having a small amount of dietary fat in your diet can help your liver keep production of triglycerides (fats found in the blood) in check—and reduce your heart disease risk by as much as 25 percent.
So, go ahead and give in to your fat cravings—in moderation, of course! Just continue to stay away from the "bad" fats—foods that are deep-fried, trans fats or the fats in processed foods.
