I remember the eggs and cholesterol hoax. Now my doctor tells me to eat eggs. It's a protein thing. I eat eggs almost every day. Another thing since the 70's was skim or 2% milk. I used to be over weight, but I changed my diet. One of the many things I changed was what kind of milk I drink, and I really like drinking milk, but 2% milk doesn't satisfy me. Skim milk? Get real, it's white colored water. I found that I drank less milk if I drank whole milk because it satisfied me more than 2%. In fact, when I was making the change over to whole milk from 2% milk I was drinking about half as much whole milk. It basically meant I had the same same fat intake but almost half the calorie intake.

This lead me to eating a lot of other verboten foods. Basically they are rich, dense type foods with a lot of fat. Think of a cheese cake or a super dense fudgie brownie. I'll eat those now but the portion sizes will be smaller than some other desert that isn't rich, but has twice the calories because I would eat twice as much.

So to wrap this up, eat stuff from farms. That includes eggs, whole milk (and if you can get it, raw milk - I have family that are dairy farmers), butter, cream and I mean super fat cream not the typical grocery store heavy cream. Use that to make homemade ice cream. You'll never want store bought again. And don't get me started on pig and cow. Two strips of bacon or two sausages with two eggs and two pieces of toast for breakfast keeps me satisfied all day long. Remembering Herman Cain - that's my 2-2-2 plan.

BTW, I went from 230lbs to 147lbs, where I am this morning. I've been at 147 plus or minus 6 or 7 lbs for over 2 years.

“Cholesterol hoax” - bingo! That’s killed more than coronavirus could ever hope to kill. How the faux medical establishment is trying to let that hoax slip silently away while still pushing Lipitor amazes me. The Fauci-type experts and their universities and the pharmaceutical companies should be sued out of existence.

“I remember the eggs and cholesterol hoax.”

Me too.

My brother is a health nut. My diet is cheese, butter, bacon, beef, and pasta. (Everything you shouldn’t eat.)

Last year we compared all our HDL and LDL numbers.

THEY WERE ALMOST THE SAME and mine were a bit better than his.

Genetics dictates your life, no matter what you eat.

After years of buying 1% or 2% milk, we’ve switched back to whole milk. It’s mostly for cereal, but I like an occasional glass of cold milk & over years I had noticed my ears would hurt after drinking 1% or 2% or skim/fat free milk. Then a while back the only available milk was whole milk & I noticed after having a glass of whole milk my ears felt fine. I know it’s odd.
