The good fats—butter, chocolate, coconut, olive oil, avocado, fish, and shellfish, among many other favorites—are not only delicious, they're good for your brain, heart, immune system, hormones, skin, memory, and emotional well-being, and can also help you lose weight.
It's a fact: Not all fats are bad. Good fats slow the effects of aging, improve mood and memory, boost the immune system, and protect against stroke and cancer. And the most surprising news of all: The right fats are great tools for weight loss, making you feel full longer and jump-starting your metabolism.
In Good Fat, bestselling low-carb guru Fran McCullough debunks all the fat myths, demystifies cutting-edge science, and—fork in hand—reveals the simple secrets to eating well and losing weight. Here she teaches you how to:
- identify the good fats—and enjoy their good taste
- avoid trans fats and other bad fats that damage health and pile on the pounds
- combine low-carb foods with beneficial fats, proteins, and fresh ingredients for maximum energy
- lose weight by eating more of the foods you crave
- prepare more than 100 simple, delicious recipes to put the good fat back on your table
...and much more. Part of the groundswell that prompted the Food and Drug Administration to require mandatory listing of trans fats content on food labels by 2006, Good Fat is an inspirational resource for the millions of Americans who have perceived the benefits of a low-carb lifestyle and are looking to live a healthier, happier life.

The Best Is Yet To Be: Butter Pat Farms Bed & Breakfast Series #2
Author: Tarana Risinger Ervin
The Best Is Yet To Be is the second offering in the Butter Pat Farms Bed & Breakfast series. Revisit Edna and Jim Roberts at their northern Ohio family farm, as they welcome interesting, and sometimes even astonishing, guests into their home.
During this long weekend, Edna is anxious with worry over the estranged relationship of a young husband and wife. The wife, Cathy, has obviously been ill, and she and her doting husband, Mark, don't seem to be connecting or communicating on any level.
Edna is determined to ferret out the reason behind Cathy's illness. If she can just figure out a way to spend some time with the troubled woman, she knows she can help. This won't be easy; there are a lot of guests who require her and Jim's attention--the lonely writer, the husband and wife lounge singers, and the seemingly average couple who are celebrating their wedding anniversary. But Edna, as Jim well knows, won't be thwarted.
Come again to Butter Pat Farms Bed & Breakfast, offering its own special brand of soul rekindling. And after your visit, recreate one of Edna's special B&B recipes, sure to make you feel that you are "there".
