A member asked:

Please advise if it's okay to eat something with a lot of saturated fat in it once in a while?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diet: Dietary recommendations are just that recommendations. Anything ingested to excess or in large amounts can be 'bad' for you. A 'once in a while' high fat meal is unlikely to be a problem for most of us. A regular high fat diet is likely a problem.
