11. High fat low carb for me
Sun May 1, 2016, 11:17 AM
May 2016

Never hungry, belly flab is gone, more energy, no lunch coma. It's great!

It's easy to follow:
Eggs, cheese, meat, fish, chicken, butter, green veggies and salads, occasionally fruit

Stay away from:
Anything with sugar, high fructose corn syrup, or other sweetners, junk food, fast food joints, flour products or grains of any kind, starchy foods as in potatoes, corn, rice, pasta


5/2/14 The Questionable Link Between Saturated Fat and Heart Disease By Nina Teicholz
"Saturated fat does not cause heart disease"—or so concluded a big study published in March in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. How could this be? The very cornerstone of dietary advice for generations has been that the saturated fats in butter, cheese and red meat should be avoided because they clog our arteries. For many diet-conscious Americans, it is simply second nature to opt for chicken over sirloin, canola oil over butter.

The new study's conclusion shouldn't surprise anyone familiar with modern nutritional science, however. The fact is, there has never been solid evidence for the idea that these fats cause disease. We only believe this to be the case because nutrition policy has been derailed over the past half-century by a mixture of personal ambition, bad science, politics and bias.

The real surprise is that, according to the best science to date, people put themselves at higher risk for these conditions no matter what kind of carbohydrates they eat. Yes, even unrefined carbs. Too much whole-grain oatmeal for breakfast and whole-grain pasta for dinner, with fruit snacks in between, add up to a less healthy diet than one of eggs and bacon, followed by fish. The reality is that fat doesn't make you fat or diabetic. Scientific investigations going back to the 1950s suggest that actually, carbs do.
