Good Fats Workbook

FREE INTERACTIVE WORKBOOK

Good Fats Workbook

Help your clients navigate the facts on fat — particularly as it relates to fresh avocados — through this interactive Good Fats Workbook.

The differences in the types of dietary fats and the varying roles each plays in a healthy diet are common knowledge for health experts, but the lines become blurred when you are a consumer. Between the contradicting headlines, good vs bad designations and technical jargon, it’s understandably hard to keep it all straight. Consumers need help from trusted and knowledgeable health professionals.

In fact, when it comes to seeking advice on foods consumers should be eating, two out of three trust nutrition information from a registered dietitian.1 This workbook is designed to help you, the health professional, best guide your clients through the good and bad, myths and facts about dietary fat and give clients the confidence and knowledge to make healthier food choices. Take a peek, walk through the guide with a client or share with a colleague and keep up the hard work in connecting the dots on dietary fat.
