Just like how carbs can be categorized by good (complex) and bad (simple), fats are another necessary macronutrient that can be argued. Monounsaturated fats actually help lower unhealthy cholesterol [3] while providing us with energy. Getting enough dietary fat can benefit many but especially those on the keto diet [4]. Because it's low carb and high fat, eating the right kinds of fats is crucial for transitioning into a state of ketosis [5].

1. Avocado
