GUESSING GAME- INDUCTIVE LOGIC
• Sort your strips of paper into 2 lists.• The “+” list will be those foods which have 4 particular
characteristics. You will be guessing what those are as you sort your foods.
• The “-” list will be those foods which don’t have the 4 characteristics or actually have the opposite of those characteristics.
• After you have sorted your foods into the 2 lists, you will be figuring out what those 4 characteristics might be. What do all of the foods in each list have in common?
FOODS ON THE “+” LIST• Butter• Bacon• Beef• Chicken• Ham• Lamb• Pork• Turkey• Cheese• Ice Cream• Sour Cream• 2% Milk
FOODS ON THE “-” LIST• Olive Oil• Safflower Oil• Mayonnaise• Kidney Beans• Soy Milk• Peanut Butter• Walnuts• Whole Wheat Bread• White Rice• Oatmeal• Carrots• Strawberries
FAT – PART I
The 4 Characteristics
• 1. + foods all come from animals.• - foods all come from plants.• 2. + foods contain more saturated fat.• - foods contain more unsaturated fat.• 3. + foods raise blood cholesterol levels because
saturated fat blocks the liver’s ability to remove cholesterol.
• - foods maintain or lower blood cholesterol levels.• 4. + foods are hardened at room temperature.• - foods remain liquid at room temperature.
EXCEPTIONS TO THE 4 CHARACTERISTICS
• Tropical oils (palm and coconut) come from plants but have lots of saturated fat.
• Fish like salmon and tuna are animals, but have lots of healthy unsaturated Omega 3 oils.
• Margarine is made out of plant oils like corn or safflower. The process of hardening (hydrogenation) changes unsaturated oils to transfatty acids. These are more harmful than saturated fats. Read the labels of packaged bakery goods, chips, and some peanut butters.
SATURATED FAT AND HEART HEALTH
Eating the typical American diet high in saturated fat…..Does what to your blood cholesterol level?
Raises it.If you have high blood cholesterol level, what may happen to
you?Clogged arteries (atherosclerosis), heart attack, high blood

DIET FOR A NEW AMERICA
THE HEALTHY SIDE OF FAT!
• Fat is an essential nutrient for your body, performing many functions.
• It provides a source of concentrated energy, 9 calories per gram. (Protein and carbs only have 4 calories per gram.)
• It can be stored efficiently.• It satisfies your appetite and gives flavor to food.• It carries certain vitamins: A, D, E, and K.• It forms a part of your cell structures.
EVALUATION OF THE FAT CONTENT OF YOUR DIET
• Look at your MyPlate activity again or your food journal.• Label your HIGH FAT ANIMAL FOODS first – HFA. Look for
butter, fatty meats like pepperoni, sausage, bacon, hamburger, steak, pork, chicken skin, cheese, ice cream, sour cream, cream cheese, whole and 2% milk or yogurt.
• Label your HIGH FAT PLANT FOODS – HFP. Look for vegetable oils, salad dressings, mayonnaise, nuts, avocados, olives.
• Label your TRANSFATTY ACIDS – TA. Look for chips, packaged cookies, donuts, cake, piets, muffins, crackers, French fries.
• Label your fish with heart healthy OMEGA 3 OILS – O3.
FAT EVALUATION Continued• Tally your results.• HFA _____• HFP _____• TF_______• O3______• Do you have 2 or less animal fats?____• Do you have 2 or more plant fats? ____• Do you have 0 transfatty acids? ______• Do you have at least 1 omega 3 oil? ____• The more “yes” answers you have, the lower your risk of heart
disease.• Write a statement about your risk. How could you improve?
