Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Skinny: GOOD fats such as olive oil and coconut oil are calorie dense and good for you. Bad fats such as trans-fats found in pre-packaged foods are bad for you. Please see your doc who may check your thyroid and other hormones. Peace and good health.
