Supermarket lard is generally hydrogenated (i.e. trans fats). It’s listed that way in the ingredients, so you can check before buying.

There’s a restaurant in Chandler, AZ called Heart Attack Grill. I’ve never been there, but I’ve read about it. It advertises itself on being obnoxiously unhealthy (by conventional wisdom), so they cook everything in lard. Even the burger buns are coated in lard. The irony is, it’s probably actually a healthier restaurant to eat at than most others (assuming you avoid the soda and unfiltered cigarettes).

Thanks for such an informative blog. Your article “metabolism-and-ketosis” has been particularly helpful! It took a few evenings to read all the comments but it was very worthwhile.

I’ve always heard that Polyunsaturated fats were the most healthy. Is it just that Polyunsaturated fats become unhealthy when heated, but are healthy otherwise? What about mono-unsaturated fats?

Would I be correct in taking away that butter and coconut oil would be healthier for cooking with? I’ve currently been using olive oil since I’d always read that was healthiest.

I’m also wondering if a diet higher in overall grams of fat is less healthy than one highest in protein. I’m eating a low-calorie ketogenic diet and many articles I’ve read suggest moderate protein and high fat.

Thanks in advance!

Why forget poutine? The added cheese and gravy is healthier and arguably tastier than just eating plain potatoes, which is 100% simple starch that quickly turns into sugar in your body. (Not to mention the possible lectins that might survive the frying process…)
