Instead of cutting calories, which can cause your body to lose muscle mass and decrease the rate of your metabolism, stick to a healthy
daily caloric intake (usually that's around 1,200 - 1,800 calories,
depending on your nutritional
needs) and be sure to eat plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, lean protein, and complex carbohydrates.
The above examples of the high fat diets of traditional populations and their corresponding excellent health were simply to prove the point that you don't
need to be afraid of dietary fats as long as you make healthy natural choices and stay within your
daily caloric range to maintain or lose body fat (
depending on your goals).
