Getting an adequate amount of vitamins and minerals will keep your body functioning well and your energy levels at their best during weight loss. Celery does not provide a large amount of vitamins and minerals, but 1 cup does contain 8 to 10 percent of your daily needs for vitamin A, folate and potassium.
What are oils? Oils are fats that are liquid at room temperature. Oils can come from plants (vegetable oils and nut oils) and from fish (fish oils). Most oils are high in the healthy monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats and low in the unhealthy saturated fats. Oils from plant sources do not contain any cholesterol.
A good working understanding of just what they are and how they work is an essential part of any well conceived diet. Fats and oils, certainly as much and perhaps more than any other single dietary component, directly impact our health in profound ways. The difference between fats and oils is in their melting point. Fats tend to be solids at room temperature; oils tend to be liquid at room temperature. To turn a fat into an oil, merely raise its temperature above its melting point.
