In the oils category, olive oil is best than using vegetable oil or saturated fat oil.

Now, I'm not sure if cocoa is a fat but it is surely good on cold winter Michigan mornings.

I have found that natural foods are the best choices. As mentioned above, oats, wheat, fruits, and vegetables are mostly natural foods. That is food that is from nature. Food that is not boxed or processed. Most food that is processed is full of sodium and or sugar. You see sodium is used to process the food so that it lasts longer. It is also known to improve the taste of foods but do you know what the food tastes like without the addition of sodium. Have you tried to eat your food without sodium? I have. It's a totally distinct taste and truly a rewarding experience. I like the natural taste of foods. My taste buds were dancing with enjoyment when I first tried eating my food without salt or sugar. For your diet you need to try to eat natural food without using sodium or sugar to improve the taste.
