Next week they’ll say something different. The key to long life: don’t die.

And I’ll suspect that it’ll lead to major taxes on ‘low fiber foods’ such as meats, to go along with the taxes on sugars, as the architect of agenda research pushes forward yet another ‘major discovery’ of a new tax source.

In The Big Fat Surprise, investigative journalist Nina Teicholz reveals the unthinkable: that everything we thought we knew about dietary fat is wrong.
She documents how the low-fat nutrition advice of the past sixty years has amounted to a vast uncontrolled experiment on the entire population, with disastrous consequences for our health.

For decades, we have been told that the best possible diet involves cutting back on fat, especially saturated fat, and that if we are not getting healthier or thinner it must be because we are not trying hard enough.
But what if the low-fat diet is itself the problem ?
What if the very foods we’ve been denying ourselves — the creamy cheeses, the sizzling steaks — are themselves the key to reversing the epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease ?

In this captivating, vibrant, and convincing narrative, based on a nine-year-long investigation, Teicholz shows how the misinformation about saturated fats took hold in the scientific community and the public imagination, and how recent findings have overturned these beliefs.
She explains why the Mediterranean Diet is not the healthiest, and how we might be replacing trans fats with something even worse.
This startling history demonstrates how nutrition science has gotten it so wrong:
how overzealous researchers, through a combination of ego, bias, and premature institutional consensus, have allowed dangerous misrepresentations to become dietary dogma.

With eye-opening scientific rigor, The Big Fat Surprise upends the conventional wisdom about all fats with the groundbreaking claim that more, not less, dietary fat — including saturated fat — is what leads to better health and wellness.
Science shows that we have been needlessly avoiding meat, cheese, whole milk, and eggs for decades
and that we can now, guilt-free, welcome these delicious foods back into our lives.

Fruits like apples and strawberries are also good sources of fiber. I’ve been cutting down on grains and increasing fruits and vegetables.

That just shows what a-holes write this dietary **** for leftist global warming shill sheets. Fiber cancels carb, so having fiber is important in Atkins (for example); veggies are important in Atkins (not just ANY veggie, which is the approach of the vegan drones); counting carbs is different than counting calories, that is key to the success of the Atkins diet. Takes discipline and information, just as any other diet does. But it works.

People are flocking to low carb diets because they facilitate weight loss! What’s more important to heart health: eating grains to lower cholesterol or dropping excess weight to lower resting HR, BP, and the incidence of stroke? I’ve been living a low carb lifestyle for over 10 years and my cholesterol is remarkably low along with the rest of my heart health markers. They’re trying to revive an industry that is limping along due to the widening public understanding that sugar and carbs are the cause for our expanding waistlines and need to be moderated.

WHO?
Who believes them?

[TalBlack]

Who, by now, hasn’t figured out ‘all things in moderation’?

[Little Pig]

Pretty much anyone who does low-carb already knows that fiber is a “negative” carb, and therefore beneficial to a low-carb diet. It’s the starches and sugars that are the problem.

[Yardstick]

I don’t get why the fiber has to come from grains. Why not from vegetables? With vegetables you’re getting the fiber but you’re staying low carb. I wonder if the researchers even considered this angle. Probably not, since they’re WHO guys and it wouldn’t fit their agenda.

[Sans-Culotte]

Unfortnately, there isn’t much fibre in things like bread and cereal.

[Drawsing]

It is easy to have high fiber without high sugar.

[GingisK]

Due to change without notice. Next there will be “good fiber” and “bad fiber”.

Pulses are part of the legume family (any plants that grow in pods), but the term “pulse” refers only to the dry edible seed within the pod. Beans, lentils, chickpeas and split peas are the most common types of pulses. Pulses are special because they have distinct health benefits apart from other legumes. Unlike legumes like peanuts and soy, for example, pulses are low in fat and very high in protein and fiber. (from https://pulses.org/nap/what-are-pulses/).

I never heard of pulses.

I lost 60 lbs in 6 months in 1986 and ate an extremly high carb diet. But that is when I got in to bicycling and was riding an average of 300 miles a week. Carbs gave me the energy to do the exercise. We used to say fat burns in the flame of carbohydrates.

Bottom line carbs are fine if you balance their input with exercise but most are to lazy to put out the effort.

I just did a five day fast. Nothing but water.

I had an unexpected outcome:

I’m 65 and have grown accustomed to getting up three or four times a night to go to the bathroom. I finished the fast Monday. I’ve slept through the night every night since.

I didn’t see that coming.
