Sweden Becomes First Western Nation to Reject Low-fat Diet Dogma in Favor of LCHF

[sense]

30. And the tired old meme of calories in, calories

has arrived, right on schedule. You're not putting calories in a box and removing them, you're putting them into a highly complex system, affected by all sorts of different processes including hormones. Here's a good video, that explains how we were duped with the low fat crap.

I cured my type ll diabetes by doing the opposite of what I'd been told to do by my doctor. She advised a high carb, low fat diet and lots of meds, all of which came with side affects that I could either live with or take more meds for. I fired her and began to eat a high fat (only the good fats), med. protein, very low carb diet. I avoided processed foods (not that I was eating much of that) and almost immediately began to feel better. My depression lifted, I lost weight, my blood pressure returned to normal and I no longer test in the diabetic range. I also have more energy than ever and am enjoying my life more than I had in the last 20 years. My spouse, who was not diabetic, reluctant followed my lead and has lost more than 40 lbs and also enjoys much more energy than before. We changed our "diet" (read lifestyle, as in not a short term fix) more than two years ago and would never go back. Quality of life is everything.

Yes, my story is just anecdotal, but as the video illustrates, we were part of an enormous experiment, without our consent, that failed miserably. A change in what I ate was all I needed to become much healthier. I didn't increase my level or rate of exercise, although I'm feeling so great now that I'm going to begin weight training, just for the fun of it!
