* The body needs about 30 g of fats a day, which come from butter, meat or vegetable oils. * Saturated fats are in butter, sausages, eggs and meat. If they are taken in excess, the rate of bad cholesterol or LDL rises and they endanger cardiovascular health. * Unsaturated fats are in vegetable oils (especially olive oils) and in fish, they lower the bad cholesterol rate and fluidize the blood. How to consume fats: * To increase the benefits of fats, avoid cooking them, except olive oil, which resists heat very well. * If not, put some fresh butter on your vegetables and meats. * If you do not like oil or butter, eat sausages, meats or fatty fish and nuts.

Basically it wants to stay neutral, to stay level, to stay the same.
