This is a common misconception. Fat doesn't make you fat, excess calories make you fat. Fat has a bad reputation because it's calorie-dense, so people figure it's too easy to eat a lot of it and get a lot of calories. But fat also helps make you feel satisfied and full and stay that way longer. Monounsaturated fats, such as olive oil, raise your HDL.
