Use oils with either Mono unsaturated or poly unsaturated fats. Do not use the oils high in saturated fats and those which have trans fats. Dont go crazy with oils. One tea spoon of oil is approximately 120 calories. To burn 120 calories you need to walk atleast 1 kilometer in a brisk manner. Do you want to stop getting fat? Then start with oils.
