Our Oil-Rich Country, or From Your Lips Right to Your Hips

An effective way to sabotage your weight-loss goal is with high-fat

the form of oils, which is over five hundred calories a day from this

form of no-fiber, empty calories.^19 Refined or extracted oils, includ-

ing olive oil, are rich in calories and low in nutrients.

nine calories per gram, compared with four calories per gram for car-

bohydrates. There are lots of calories in just a little bit of oil.
