If you're still thrown off by the quick shift from low-fat-everything to the keto craze, you're not the only one. (I'm still a little shook, tbh.)

“Healthy fats are satiating, flavorful, and necessary for so many metabolic processes,” explains nutritionist Monica Auslander Moreno, RD, consultant for RSP Nutrition. Plus, they often reduce the need for added sugars in food products, which is a much-needed win these days.
What’s more, your body needs fat to absorb certain nutrients—specifically vitamin A, D, E, and K—and certain fats (lookin' at you, omega-3s) are protective against heart disease, adds nutritionist Brittany Modell, RD.
