Make Friends With Oil

Healthy fats are fantastic mechanisms for weight gain. Just a tablespoon of olive oil has 120 calories, and it’s not difficult to get through twice that amount in one go.

Add to this the staggering amount of health-boosting antioxidants known as polyphenols, which also have great anti-inflammatory properties, and olive oil may win the prize for most useful fat.

To begin, ditch the store-bought salad dressings and make your own with an olive oil base. Start swirling olive oil into all your smooth preparations, too: oatmeal, soup, smoothies — even yogurt and pudding are prime locales for a dash of oil.
