The best sandwich I've ever had. Sigh.
It is mentioned that HRC staff were on the payroll of Coca Cola pushing a no-tax-on-sugary-drinks position.
All you need to know is that the gubbermint supports high fructose corn syrup, and backs it with our tax dollars.
I have been low carb for about 4 years. Weight lost and never came back. I eat as much meat, cheese, nuts, green vegitables as I want. I limit those things high in carb. And I almost never eat flour or sugar.
My weight is down 25 pounds and has been off for 4 years. My blood sugar is very low. My cholesterol is low and my triglycerides are very low. I feel great and I am never hungry.
I never exercise. I eat as much as I want and I am 55. The doctor thinks I am working out and eating their diet. I don’t tell them because they just don’t understand.
The head of Nutrition at Duke and Standford suggested this diet. And that is why I started it.
I’ve been on this diet for just over a year. My A1C went from 7.3 to 5.6 in 2 months, my total cholesterol to a well balanced 99, and my weight dropped from 210 to 165. My son went on it and lost 150 pounds in 6 months.
And the best part, I’m never hungry and have much more energy... And I’m a septuagenarian.
I stayed kind of “in the closet” about my Ketogenic diet because family & co-workers just didn’t get it - told everyone I was eating “low carb”. But after losing 70 lbs. in 18 months and turning my health completely around, now they all are curious and want to learn more.
The best sandwich I've ever had. Sigh.

The science is settled! Buy low-carb credits!!
In 2008 decided that as a medical/dental pro, my 218 lbs was too much for my frame. Went on an exercising regimen, cycling up to 150 miles a week. Weight went down to 195 but would fluctuate greatly (up) depending on that cycling regimen. Then in 2012 I decided to greatly reduce my carb intake and increasing saturated fat in my diet. Since then I have been between 178-184 lb range....irregardless of the amount of exercising I engage in. My dietary model has been based on the nutritional values found in the ordinary egg which recent UCLA studies has found to be the near perfect food.....50+% fat, 40+% protein, and 10-% carbs.
Heart attack 3 years ago, been on a low carb diet ever since. Turn 65 next week and never felt better.
You can also use mostly ordinary spices to boost a better blood chemistry.

Been LCHF for 3 years now. Lost over 100 pounds with really no effort, just minimize the carbs.
I started LCHF in December 2012 as a 1.59m 56year old female with a small build weighing 70.2kg. Now, at 60, I weigh 55kg with the weight being lost during that first year and then maintained in spite of straying occasionally. When I started losing the weight, I thought I would have to educate my doctor in South Africa. As it turned out in recent years he had been totally converted to LCHF. He has since specialised in diabetes and nowadays treats his diabetic patients with diet as far as possible. He is also on the Tim Noakes Foundation which does research into this way of life funded largely by the sale of his books on the subject.
Noakes is currently the subject of a major investigation (witch-hunt from the dietary “establishment”) regarding his dietary advice with the results coming out in April. He could possibly lose his medical licence, although he has not practiced as a doctor for decades.
Recent research has shown that low carb diets beat out the USDA guidelines and Mediterranean diet when it comes to weight loss and improving cardio risk factors.
Additionally, the Triglycerides/HDL ratio is one of the most important indicators of cardio vascular health. Carbs raise the Triglycerides-not good. Low fat diets lower the HDL.
Healthy fat is needed for HDL. That’s olive oil and butter/dairy from grass fed cows. Eggs are also healthy. Two eggs will give you half the Vit. K2 you need for bone health and to prevent calcium build up in the arteries.
Saturated Fat is actually somewhat protective of liver with respect to alcohol and fructose.
The bitter truth is that sugar in the amounts we have been consuming is just poison to our system. I followed the low fat diet for years - cardio panel was never good. Within 2 months of doubling my good fat intake, eliminating sugar, and reducing daily carb grams to 60 (not including the low glycemic green veggies-which I can eat as much as I want), all my cardio indicators improved to normal!
The USDA pyramid is just wrong. It also is totally contrary to nutrition that was taught to me in my high school home economics class, which is what I have gone back to.
When you go low carb, beware. The food industry throws some things at you to sell more crap. First High protein is not low carb. And even though you have a high protein diet when you are on a low carb diet. Its not the same. High protein bars and shakes often have lots of sugar. Besides high protein, beware of low fat, natural or all natural, and any sweeteners even the no calorie sweeteners.
Some say you can eat virtually any one ingredient product. Like corn on the cob. Naturally corn is not good. But if you eat it on the cob you are working at it and eating most of the fiber that corn products take out. When corn is in season and on the cob go ahead, eat one. But I think this theory breaks down with raisins. Those are nothing but sugar.
Just remember on a low carb diet you can have all the fat and protein you want. Thats ok as long as your low carb. Just watch the carbs and you will be ok.
Oh one more thing. Stay away from anyone who tells you everything is fine in moderation. That is crap. Moderation includes a huge amount of carbs. Moderation includes a few cigarettes a day along with just one small bag of potato chips, one twinkie, a bowl of frosted flakes, and a cookie. Moderation is a great way for the food industry to sneak anything into your diet. I am sure the moderation devil used that line when he told eve to have just one bight of the apple.
When someone says just eat in moderation realize that the person is either dumb or evil. Once the words come out of their mouth, I suggest you have 10 seconds to decide which you are dealing with.
