This book and others like it is the reason my wife and I went on a Low-carb (no sugar, grains or root vegetables) high fat diet about 6 years ago. We eat only good fats such as saturated fats, coconut oil, olive oil macadamia oil, avocado oil and some polys with good omega 3/6 balance. Very little vegetable oils. No margarine. No more sickness at all since then. All metabolic markers (including weight) much improved. For health, diet is everything.
I have been eating a carb free diet for about 6 months. All need for insulin is gone, blood pressure is low and stable, health is excellent and weight is down 50 pounds. I eat fatty foods, no starches, no sugar, no fruit, lots of meat and veggies.
Feel great.
Dr. Wm. Campbell Douglass tried to tell us this for many
years. Yet the vegetarian “experts” out there lambasted
him as a quack. - Well, he lived into his 90th year, long
after a lot of these “experts” had already become the
dearly departed.
I love me some carbs. My wife is a great baker. But when I decided enough is enough, all I have to do is follow the Taubes/Atkins formula and the weight just falls off. I did this in January, and lost about 15 pounds in just over two weeks. Everyone noticed.
I’m 65, and thank God have NO diseases and take NO meds of any kind. I have a little arthritis in the knees due to years of teaching aerobics on a cement floor.
