A member asked:
What are the consequences of eating more than the recommended level of saturated fat just one day, one time? really worried.

I'm sorry you seem: to be so misinformed about dietary fat and that this is a source of worry. Guidelines about limiting saturated fat are meant to influence long term, consistent dietary choices that favor health. But NO ONE follows them 100% of the time and NO ONE expects you to.There would be no measurable health effects from eating high saturated fat one day.Congratulations on your commitment but educate yourself

Saturated fats: One time consumption of saturated fats may not have long-term effects as eating daily of saturated fats. Regular exercise and balance diet would be the recommendation
