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

54. Absolutely!

I ate stuffing for Thanksgiving dinner because I just couldn't pass it up. And like a hangover, I realized it's self-limiting. I don't like feeling bloated and puffy for days, or the nighttime indigestion. Just not worth it. There's no need for self-control because that sweet dessert might look good, but you know it will make you feel like absolute crap, so you don't even want to eat it. I see my SAD friends' eyes bulge out of their sockets when I casually pass up a dessert without giving it a second thought. And then then roll their eyes when I can eat high fat sauces like hollandaise or beurre blanc (mmm, butter). It really is the most liberating way to eat and we are never hungry. We're down to eating about once at most twice a day because your appetite adjusts and you have so much energy.

I have found that when I am making a recipe that I absolutely can't make any other way than using flour, I use Jovial einkorn flour and I do not have any of those problems. Another argument against modern wheat. Plus it actually has a flavor, not just paste. I like it far better than some of the gluten free substitutes because I absolutely cannot go for soy anything and they are usually very high carb. But for the most part we just avoid it and go for fat, protein and veg.
