If that hotel gets to full, then the doors start to bulge. Different fats are called different names. Good fats are monounsaturated like olive oil and omega fatty acids from fish. Saturated fats, which are solid at room temperature like butter and fat from meats and chicken, are not as good for your heart. Trans fats are fats that have been changed from nature.  These are just not good for you. Try to take trans fats out of your diet.

Remember,  if you eat too much of any fat you will start to bulge just like the doors of the hotel. Moderation is the key to stay fit and keep healthy. Good fats are where it’s at. Cut down on fried foods and use olive oil.
