Current dietary advice says foods containing high levels of saturated fats such as cream, butter, red meat, eggs and cheese should be avoided because they increase the risk of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and cancer.
But a study published in a leading medical journal has found the opposite is true, with a diet full of natural fats improving the health of people taking part.
Professor Sherif Sultan, a heart specialist from the University of Ireland, said: “We urgently need to overturn current dietary guidelines."
"People should not be eating high carbohydrate diets as they have been told over the past decade.
“Instead our diets should be largely based on good quality high-fat foods. This will prevent the rising epidemic of Type 2 diabetes and reverse the growing numbers of people suffering weight-related heart problems.”
The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found overweight middle-aged men who ate high levels of saturated fat and low levels of carbohydrate became slimmer and healthier.
Researchers also saw reduced blood pressure and glucose levels, which are associated with a lower risk of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and cancer, in the patients.

It’s not the fats or the carbs. It’s the factory farmed,GMO, chemical and hormone saturated, processed garbage that passes for food most people eat.
3 raw eggs everyday will keep the doc away.
Rocky Balboa probably doesn’t win the title without eating raw eggs every morning.
Ice should be ok, unless it's Italian ice.
Glad to see the low carb high fat or ketogenic diet receive some official study and publicity. It’s excellent for people with diabetes, pre-diabetes, obesity, inflammatory conditions, insulin resistance, among other issues. 20-50 grams of carbs a day, no sugar, grains, polyunsaturated oils. Maybe 5% carbs, 70 % saturated fats, 25% protein. Energy comes from fats, not carbs, for the most part, and insulin production is drastically reduced. For those who need weight loss, it’s an effortless way of eating, because fats make you feel satiated and you don’t have cravings.
One more example of why, whenever someone says "expert", you're b.s./skepticism meter should hit the roof.
“Now they tell me.”
I never stopped. I’ve resisted all the efforts of my loving wife and still cling to my Southern heritage.
Most soft drinks have corn syrup. If you can find Coke with real sugar, it’s a real treat.
MCT stands for medium chain triglyceride. It is basically a really pure form of coconut oil. As for the coffee I put two tablespoons of MCT oil and at least two tablespoons of unsalted grass fed butter per cup. I bought a $20 stick blender to mix it all together. There are lots of Youtube videos showing people making it and touting the benefits.
Some people are fanatical about the coffee they use for their
bulletproof coffee. I’m not. Sometimes I use a coffee press with fresh ground beans, other times I use our Keurig.
And they ridiculed Atkins to no end. I believe they purposely lie to make more money.
Sounds like we eat much the same way. I need to study the benefit of adding the collagen to bulletproof coffee. Yes, blending is essential! It’s a mess if you don’t.
I totally agree with you about the highly processed foods filling our grocery store shelves.
But the problem with modern grains is that they have been genetically modified to the point that they are nothing like the grain of Biblical times. The closest modern grain to that is “Einkorn wheat”. Modern grains are literally poison to our bodies. You can get any carbs your body needs from vegetables, nuts and seeds, and you can make bread from seeds and nuts that would be very much like the flat unleavened bread eaten in Biblical times. Only a few people with hypothyroidism have to be cautious of not going too low with their carbs.
There are quite a few examples of peoples such as Inuit and Eskimo who pretty much lived on meat, fatty fish and animal fat with only occasional eggs, plants, seaweed or berries. On this diet they literally developed no heart disease, diabetes, tooth decay or cancer. Only when they adopted grains and sugar from trading with whites did they begin to suffer from these diseases.
Read “Wheat Belly” by cardiologist Dr. William Davis to learn more about this topic.
It's both, but many people start off the day with sugar in their coffee, cereal with fruit and sugar, a couple donuts, more coffee with sugar...and pastries at coffee break, double cheese-burger and a large fries with a large pepsi for lunch, stop for beer and pizza on the way home, and then a carb rich dinner.
I don't care how active you are, you can't burn off thousands of calories like that, unless you run ten miles...even then.
Somebody on here talked about Michael Phelp's 10,000 calorie a day diet...he'd have to run something like 100 miles to break even.
According to an (any) online calorie calculator, if you weighed 200lbs, you'd have to run about 12 hours at 5MPH to burn 8709 calories. (that's 60 miles)
Then there's the huge difference between simple-carb empty calories, and calories from fat.
Even artificial sweetners...the body "thinks" it's sugar...instant insulin reaction.
Know anyone who developed Parkinson’s after being put on statins?
Statin Use Linked to Increased Parkinson’s Risk - Medscape
www.medscape.com/viewarticle/870996
Oct 26, 2016 - BALTIMORE — New findings from a large national claims database show the use of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs to be associated with an increased risk for Parkinson’s disease (PD), contrary to previous research suggesting the drugs have a protective effect for PD.
Yes, I rarely eat sweets, but occasionally I love cheesecake or chocolate.
I’m the only one in my family that hasn’t gotten diabetes 2, and I think it’s because I eat mostly meat and vegetables, as if I eat too many carbs it messes up my colon.
Read Wheat Belly a few years ago. Great book.
Problem with wheat is every time they hybridize it it keeps all the chromosomes becoming a different protien. Einkorn had 2 sets of 7 chromosomes. Modern wheat now has 42.
My mother is now 85 and said for years that the flour changed and had different baking characteristics after the 50’s.
It's sugar/starch no matter how it's raised. But like you said, processed garbage. Most junk food is made from sugar/starch.
Everything you could possibly think of to make from your "organically grown" flour and sugar.....is fattening.
The collagen hydrolysate powder helps heal your gut and build healthy skin, bone and joint tissue tissue. You never know it’s in the coffee since it dissolves completely and is totally tasteless. It also adds about 10 g. protein per T.
I also make fat bombs, including bulletproof coffee bombs. Then I can just drop one in my coffee and process, or if I’m running late for work I drink the coffee and eat the bomb :-)!
You cannot drive an insulin response on those foods.
I am one of the younger members of my family, so I see the 10-12 year view of the future. Based on that I quit carbs and sugar except for special occasions and drinking entirely. Didn’t like what I was seeing. Feel much better for it as I lost the weight I began picking up the last 20 yrs.
