Fat is GOOD for you! New research says cheese and cream to PREVENT diabetes and heart risk

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.

And BACON! Which probably has its own drawbacks.

Bite your tongue. Bacon has no drawbacks! It is the perfect food!

Interesting thing about beets: They provide abundant nitric oxide, which increases blood oxygen levels and strengthens the heart muscle.

Does this mean we can force skinny liberal kids in public schools to eat more fat? Even when their parents object? Can we ever be as big a jerks as democrats are? Probably not...

Why Butter is good for you.
http://time.com/4386248/fat-butter-nutrition-health/

Mmmm hard to choose, eggs, bacon, ribs, catfish, ham, peanut butter, turkey, chicken, cheese, are the top of my food list.

I refuse to eat margarine can’t digest it, taste nasty. I do occasionally cheat with a piece of cheesecake.

The more sugar or carbs regardless of source and the lbs start climbing.

Me, too. It satisfies my urge to eat before bedtime. It’s slightly acid. I usually drink low fat or no fat kind. I can only find it in quarts.

I get my carbs from green veggies and so far no problem.

I was reading one of those “What to Eat and When” clickbait blurbs the other night (it was 0345 and very quiet at work). I get to “Late night snacks” and it tells me to eat “low-fat, high-carb”.

That makes NO sense to me, as carbs convert to sugar, which are then converted to fat due to inactivity. A high-protein late snack makes more sense, as the body has to expend energy to digest it. Then again, I’m not a nutritionist (coffee causes colon cancer/coffee cures stomach cancer, eggs are bad/eggs are good, fat is bad/fat is good, eat only veggies/meat is vital).

Then again, this was from a clickbait site, so I shouldn’t be surprized by inaccuracies.

Although my carb levels have gone up. Liquid bread. Gotta work on that.

Work out daily and still drink beer.

Two things I won't give up. Coffee and Beer.

Eating fat that is. Not being fat.

Well, I am not afraid of Bacon; but there are those who fear the ‘nitrate’/’nitrite’ issues; whose actual health detriments don’t seem to be really clear yet.

I eat bacon occasionally, and don’t worry about it.

Collagen Hydrolysate is a powder that is processed from beef, similar to gelatin. Only gelatin will get thick when mixed with liquid while collagen just dissolves (it mixes well in cold or hot liquid). You don’t want to substitute gelatin powder for collagen in your coffee or you will have a clumpy mess.
Collagen hydrolysate is very good for your metabolism, and for building the connective tissue in in your hair, skin, nails, and joints. I buy it on Amazon but you can get it at GNC or probably health food or drug stores.

He claimed when digested it is transformed into carbohydrates.

Well, look at the ingredients. They call it "liquid bread". It IS carbohydrates.

Michelob Ultra. 2.6 grams of carbs in a can. Not my favorite beer but one or two a day and I can stay in ketosis. How do I know I'm in ketosis? Those brussel sprouts actually start looking pretty tasty.

That would be an issue for me, problem with having digestive disorders like Gastropresis (real slow digestion) a major Vagus AB nerve is damaged, is you don’t digest fiber, dense meats or legumes. And it really is a challenge to eat, and stay away from the diabetic tendencies it shoves you to. When they ran the delay test it took me 4 hrs to digest 2 egg whites, 2 slices of toast and 4 oz of radioactive laced food. Plant material takes longer, meat if you can chew it to mush about 5 hr. I’ve not had a steak of chop, any dense meats in 4 yrs. It means a level 9 AB pain and bloating to try and eat those foods.

So I eat mostly protein with some pasta, or bread. Still a 4 hr process at the least, 2 meals a day. Can’t handle more, their 6 small meals don’t work and make it worse. Eventually it shuts your bowel function down as you consume no fiber. No cure either except to watch what you eat to prevent the pain and not go diabetic.

Did you actually notice any benefit to your hair and skin; and are there any side-effects like digestive issues?

I’ve got a lot of back trouble that messes with sleep, and am interested in this; but I’ve also read reviews that suggested it was good for hair, skin, nails.
