I've been on a low carb, moderate protein, high fat way of eating for about 10 months. I've lost 100 lbs, have normalized my out of control T2 diabetes and have significantly reduced my cholesterol. And I am never, ever hungry. A year ago I couldn't go 10 minutes without thinking about food.

Excellent!

The “food pyramid” that recommended lots of grains ...

Lots of grain - what's fed to animals in a feed-lot to fatten them up.

How could any rational person think that would not lead to fattening-up in humans?

The "food pyramid" was the result of an unholy alliance between the animal-rights activists and the Gaia-worshippers.

[CatQuilt]

I’m shocked that the experts could be so wrong about something. /s

They were wrong about cholesterol too. Statins are bad.

The miracle that is bacon!

I’ve known for many years that fried pork rinds are better for you than corn chips. And back in the 90’s I did a lot of bike riding. I used nutrition bars that contained a third fat.

The internet, coupled with search engines, has provided an explosion of information to the masses that is like the invention of the printing press on steroids. It is possible to not only find the information you need, but effectively root out the BS from the truth. This applies to everything from politics to diet.

It’s why informed people now eat a lot better and liberal politicians are scared to death.

Both are very good.

Also, for me it almost completely eliminates the need to see a general practitioner MD. I’ve fixed many problems just using the internet.

Do you have a guide for your diet?

[central_va]

Ok, I’ll have the Baconator.

[Twotone]

I’m trying an Atkins-style diet right now. The one real benefit is the much reduced hunger pangs every couple of hours!

[rb22982]

HFLC diet works - period.

[phs3]

I would also suggest that people should try to not eat (anything with more than 30 calories is food) between supper and breakfast. That means letting your body rest from digesting and processing food for 10 to 12 hours.
Its only been the last 70 years or so that people have been provided with a constant supply of food. Its not healthy for the metabolic system to be constantly processing the crap we put in our mouths.

[surroundedbyblue]

This isn’t a “shock” to me. Dr Atkins did much work into exposing the perils of a high carbohydrate diet, linking such a diet to many dosease via the inflammation it causes. He also exposed the big food lobby which keeps the myth of a high grain, low fat diet perpetuated.

For those of us who think independently and pay attention, we aren’t surprised that a fatty diet with low carbohydrate and little to no grains is the key to health

Superior!.................

Sam’s has a good deal on butter if you buy 4 pounds at once.

Butter makes everything better.

[Red Badger]

Olive oil is a great substitute for butter/margarine..........................

[Williams]

I applaud you and your diet success.

[LoneStarGI]

Same here. Lots of Avocado and Olive Oil, good lean proteins and just a nominal amount of healthy carbs. I don’t exercise, but plan to in the near future. But I’ve lost 50lbs just eating better, my T2 diabetes is mostly under control now and I don’t crave sweets anymore. Strangely I don’t have much a sweet tooth anymore either. Lots more energy too.

My wife lost 45 pounds and kept them off with the keto diet.

[SandRat]

I'll always detest, chicken or turkey fake Hot Dogs, “hamburgers”, sausages, corn-beef hash or any false Bacon.

[ConservativeDude]

those are significant results! Congratulations and GREAT WORK!!!!

Two years ago I dropped sugar entirely and minimized other carbs as much as possible. Went from 197 pounds to 172 (on 5'10" height). Joints and feet issues went away, so did day naps, energy shot up, as if my biological age got rewound decade or more back.

It's basically absurd to ask sickness industry for advice about food or anything else on how to avoid becoming their customer.
