Margot Brassil wow. That’s a big statement.

"I am 66, justed started LCHF few months ago. My BG is normal, reduced inflation in my joints, my BP was elevated, now close to normal. So you maintain elevated BP with a high fat diet. "I have more energy than before." So yoy could have even more energy on a high fiber diet.

wheat, whole wheat is all bad for you.and wheatgerm too.

ice cream is full of frutose suger it is not good!

Adrienne Berkman who said sugar is good for you? When researchers induce high cholesterol in controlled experiments, they don't give lab animals sugar or wheat, they give them saturated fat - that's how you get heart disease quicker.

saturated fats are our freinds especailly grass fed butter and coconut oil these fit well into my raw vegan diet there is no need to go Keto if you want long term health- go to plant based + saturated fats !! in the long run results will be best and longevity this will also get you to the correct slim weight and eliminate diabetes. whole food carbs and especailly fruits will make for wonderful insulin sensitivity

The calcium recommendation from 'dear government' has killed countless women in the name of correcting osteoporosis. They gave them heart disease instead! The so called Drs and government people recommending calcium should go to jail for murder.

+Dennis Shumaker Ditto. Low-fat eating leads to obesity - as we've proved with rates in Britain soaring from 2-28.5% since low fat advice was given out in 1983.

+Thomas Baird What makes you think people followed that advice? If the UK is anything like the USA then overall calorie consumption has continued to rise and fat consumption didn't ever decrease and has continued to rise as well. No surprise people are getting obese, they eat too much and of the wrong foods!

Yes so true Nils, Well said! Thank you

***** Idiotic and completely untrue.

***** Please get a proper education and don't listen to unqualified quacks like this bozo, you will die young otherwise.

MassacreBlast Actually, odd as it sounds, the guidelines you're talking about are misleading. Saturated fat is far healthier for the body than polyunsaturated fat, which has been implicated as a cause of free radical damage and accelerated aging. The attack on saturated fat was based on confusing trans fats (which are damaging) with natural saturated fats (which are not). The push to get rid of saturated fat was fueled by companies trying to sell corn oil (a damaging polyunsaturated fat) and soy oil (a horrible toxic product) to the public. They've done a lot of damage.

MassacreBlast Hi Massacreblast, unfortunately the AHA is "stuck" in recommendations from the past. They'll change their recommendations eventually but have not caught up to the science. There've been many articles recently detailing studies showing that saturated fat is far healthier for people than polyunsaturated, and, in a related vein, that dietary cholesterol does not raise blood cholesterol. It's carbohydrates, not fats, that raise the level of damaging cholesterol. Saturated fat has a protective effect. Unfortunately I can't post the links here, due to KZfaq. But they're easy to track down. You might start with a google search for something like, "saturated fats healthy or unhealthy". Please try reading them with an open mind.

I did Keto for 10 days and I did experience a brief change (brief because I stopped) My pants started to feel a bit loose but the most important thing I noticed was how much better my brain focused and solved IT problems at work. I had to stop because I was running of out money and time preparing all these foods. I had never eaten so many eggs in a short period of time in my life. Also, the cooking took longer than normal. Coconut tortillas and breads took forever to make. in the mornings, I had to make some quick scrambled eggs with some type of red meat which was ok, but again, the rush and no time to sit down and eat it, etc. If I get my finances in order again and find more time, I'll try this again for sure.

@@fisterhr Just eat fatty meats, organ meats, sardines, salmon, low carb veggies, coconut oil, butter, eggs, cheese. No need for low carb breads and recipes. Keep it simple, meat, veg, fat. Also, once fat adapted, do fasting and eat in a short time window of 4-8 hours. Keto and intermittent fasting are very effective and help to control hunger. Many people also do very well eating fatty meats and fat and no veg at all. We do not need carbs or fiber. Check out Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Paul Saldino, Dr. Shawn Baker, Primal Edge Health.

They were paid off thru lobbyists to spread the upside down food pyramid scheme and lobbyists still control our government such as no jab no job. Evil as it gets they are.

Coconut oil is much better than olive oil

Thank you for sharing and I wish you good health ;) how are you holding up? :)

@@marekliban7366 Thank you. Same to you. Still doing well. Keeping my weight down.

Have she convinced herself yet?

As someone whos recently suffered a heart attack, you would be hard pressed to convince me that saturated fat wasnt the cause or at least a huge contributing factor to the heart. I wasnt a smoker, barely drunk, BP was bad but under control and didnt take drugs, the one thing that was terrible in my life was my diet. A diet consisting of high fatty foods.

That's understandable. I follow a high fat low carb diet and I still can't convince my parents to do the same

are you still alive?

Gonna have a smart baby for sure !!

The thing is, we dont really understand what stress is. Is the stress from working out in the gym the same stress as going for a run? What about the dietary stress from having too many different foods that our body needs to digest and create antibidodies for? Also, what about the stress caused by the air quality?

That's dangerous

@@jonlobov1249 why?

Bingoooo!

My Dad smoked 2-3 packs of non-filter Pall Malls since before the age of 18 until the day he died at 83. During his final days in the hospital before he passed on, the nurses said they couldn't understand how he smoked so much and yet his body was still taking in over 95% of the oxygen he was breathing. Smoking didn't kill him. He ate tons of meat, veggies, and fats all his life. We used meat lard for cooking. He always told me fat is good for you..guess he was right.

The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee was just a big waste of time and money then

KyleGG I stopped believing fairy stories a long time ago. You obviously didn't. Ken Anderson is probably right to a degree - refined carbs and lots of fat and oil are bad for you. But the major reason people became fat from the 1980s on was that Americans started eating more. You don't need fanciful theories about all carbs and all wheat suddenly becoming toxic or obesogenic. If you eat more calories and everything else stays the same (or especially if you do less manual work and move less), you are going to get fat. People were cosuming 3,500 kcalories a day in 1980 - by 2000, it was 4,200 kcalories a day. By 2010, it had fallen somewhat to 4,000 kcalories daily - still too much. That''s why there is a massive obesity, diabetes etc epidemic. That and too much transfat, saturated fat, cholesterol and highly processed junk foods in the diet. People had just as many carbs before WW1, and they were a much bigger proportion of the diet then, but that didn't make them fat so it obviously isn't the carbs as such. www.cnpp.usda.gov/USFoodSupply-1909-2010

***** Very good post. Three months I eliminated all junk foods, all liquid cooking oils and anything out of a box. I also increased my vegetables. I will NOT give up potatoes and popcorn made on the stove top. This plus increased activity and reduced stress have enabled me to shed 15 pounds. Everything in moderation is the key.

***** Theory is fine but what happens in practice? Sure, fat and protein have more energy so we are probably hard wired to want them. But traditional cultures seemed to do just fine on high carb diets. People eating lots of rice or potatoes or wheat/oats did not seem to get fat ... at least not until they started adding rich sauces or cooking oil. There is that guy who did the potato diet and he did fine www.20potatoesaday.com/ And I know that if I eat porridge (ie old fashioned oats) or boiled potatoes I will feel full for a long time. There aren't many calories in either potatoes or oats as long as you boil them in water and eat them with vegetables, salad, fruit etc. Yes you can lose weight on low carb high fat/protein diets also, especially if you are obese and/or diabetic. But it's difficult to keep the weight off long term unless you are a ferocious exerciser. That's true of most diets I suppose. However... "The National Weight Control Registry provides information about the strategies used by successful weight loss maintainers to achieve and maintain long-term weight loss. National Weight Control Registry members have lost an average of 33 kg and maintained the loss for more than 5 y. To maintain their weight loss, members report engaging in high levels of physical activity ( approximately 1 h/d), eating a low-calorie, low-fat diet, eating breakfast regularly, self-monitoring weight, and maintaining a consistent eating pattern across weekdays and weekends." ajcn.nutrition.org/content/82/1/222S.long

+Skepti Cat We certainly do. Here's one. nutritionfacts.org/videos/

+Jester123ish Yes that is a good site. I met the guy who makes all those videos for the site. He works in DC. It was really interesting when he showed reports from the meat industry about how they didn't want to take any of the crap out their food because 2. it tasted good 1. it helped their profits. All the 'science' in this video is based on what happened 10,000 years ago or more, uses remote tribes with high fat diets to justify a high fat diet. They never discuss how long the life span of those people were or the amount of physical activity. They never mention even if 70% of the calories came from fat... how many calories they got. They don't sit down at a restraunt and order a 48oz steak. They had to hunt. This is a good video:nutritionfacts.org/video/good-great-bad-killer-fats/ even though I am vegan, time to time I eat meat, but I eat very little. I also exercise more than the average person. I can't see how a high fat diet would benefit me when I really need simple carbs and some fat for my physical activity. High fat my work half way decently with endurance. Long and slow events, but for bicycling 100 miles+ in a day. I need simple carbs, protein and some fat. Fat is very high in calories and requires more energy to break down into usable energy. Simple sugars like medical grade dextrose or glucose burns fast. I can't spend energy to make energy when I am doing a long and fast event. Fat is great if I want to go slow but I'd like to finish before the sun sets.

+C Abulafia The science says that eating saturated fat will raise your cholesterol and lead to higher coronary heart disease, and other related cardio vascular problems.

+Jester123ish Thank you so much for being part of the discussion. While you are correct (I am well aware of the science and am currently getting a masters in the topic of nutrition), I wonder why saturated fats and trans fats have been grouped together in lock-step as though they are similar at all. I suggest that they are not at all similar- one is quite toxic and the other has been nourishing our bodies and our ancestors for the duration of humankind (note Dr. Millers description of human breast milk containing over 50% saturated fat. this being one of the most important foods to the human being!). Also I wonder whether high levels of cholesterol cause heart disease and, in a larger sense, metabolic syndrome, or whether they are simply correlated. If correlation does not mean causation, then we must keep looking at why our bodies are producing the cholesterol. I do think this is a touchy subject. If you look at the USDA recommendations for fat intake since early 1980s and then look at the health and obesity/diabetes charts, we must pause and wonder at their remarkable positive correlation as well...

+C Abulafia Here's the official figures "Mature human milk contains 3%--5% fat, 0.8%--0.9% protein, 6.9%--7.2% carbohydrate calculated as lactose, and 0.2% mineral constituents expressed as ash. Its energy content is 60--75 kcal/100 ml." www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/392766 Re your comment: "Also I wonder whether high levels of cholesterol cause heart disease and, in a larger sense, metabolic syndrome, or whether they are simply correlated." High cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease. By high, essentially anyone eating a standard American diet is likely to have high cholesterol, you may have heard that people with 'normal' cholesterol still get CHD, this is the reason, 'normal' cholesterol means dangerously high cholesterol. nutritionfacts.org/video/the-saturated-fat-studies-buttering-up-the-public/ nutritionfacts.org/video/the-saturated-fat-studies-set-up-to-fail/

Atkins was overweight and had 3 heart conditions and died prematurely with his aberrant high fatty diet.

Barrak Sadeq hi, Barrak, Robert Atkins was widely reported to weigh about 200 pounds. He was also reported to be between 6ft and 6ft 1 inch tall. Even the day after he died, he was weighed at 195 pounds. Using a standard BMI calculator, even if you want to use the lowest weight and round his height up, you will still see that Robert Akins falls squarely in the "overweight" range with a BMI of 25.7. Even Veronica Atkins admitted his husband was "14st", which is 196 lbs. If course you cam look at any picture of him and it his round features are obvious but here is a BMI calculator for your convenience: www.bcbst.com/providers/MPMTools/BMICalculator.shtm And here is the confession by his wife who is actually trying to defend her husband but admits he was 14 stones. A stone is equivalent to 14 lbs. www.telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/wellbeing/diet/4714887/My-husband-was-not-fat.html Akins also had a few heart conditions and was on his high fat diet since college. Check any source, his weight just confirms his appearance. Say it out loud - Robert Akins was overweight.

@@chrisbranciere9557 But was Atkins on his own diet or stuffing his face with ice-cream?

@@chrisbranciere9557 Hi! Dr. Atkins died of a head injury from a fall on an icy sidewalk.

Xymo Nau the blue zones ate diets high in saturated fat. Go to Weston price foundation where they explain the truth about blue zone diets.

the Native Tribe in My Big Fat Diet were all previously eating processed food, by way of cookies, sugary treats, pasta, potatoes, rice, etc. They live in a town that's pretty westernized with grocery stores and fast food restaurants. They had turned away from the native diet and had a couple generations of obesity in their families. I myself live in Chicago, work in the downtown area and have lots of temptation every day. I don't have cravings anymore and the more educated I become the more the hydrogenated/hfcs laced foods are gross. I can't ever imagine going back and I have no problem passing a bakery or a McDonalds. I believe that it is an addiction to sugar, which is just like an addiction to cigarettes or alcohol. Sugar even releases dopamine like cocaine does. Btw- I have lost 25 lbs, in six months and I feel great. I sleep better, I have more energy and my bp has improved. But the most important thing is I don't have the desire to eat sugar or starch anymore. Its a lifestyle - its for life.

Watch "The Oiling of America" and "Why We Get Fat", both of which agree with Miller's assessment of sat. fats. Gary Taube particularly is well versed on the subject. Miller should have been more responsive on the fiber question, I agree. Many low-carb green vegetables are high in fiber and should be included in the daily diet to supply the necessary fiber.

daniel shoop Thanks. I have watched the Oiling of America just a couple of days ago and contradicted some of the claims of that lady, you can read my comments and you are welcomed to add your own :) I agree that saturated fats are not that bad as we thought, but it is not that simple, unfortunately. Resistant starch, which the bacteria ferment in our intestines and which is present in relatively high carbohydrate sources, has been found to promote good intestinal flora and promote the environment with anticancer properties for the colon region. High proteins, on the other hand, promote cancerous environment (confirmed by my lecturer when having the colon metabolism lecture few months ago, he is specializing in this topic). So while you may manage your insulin and the body weight with the low carbs approach, there are other aspects in carbohydrate rich food sources that are beneficial for us and I do not consider it wise to ignore this food group completely.

Thanks for your thoughtful comments.

daniel shoop Why not recommend The China Study and Reversing Diabetes and Heart Disease a long with the books you just recommended? They prescribe a high carb diet though.

Michael Warren High carb, low carb... If people do not start moving around more, we can keep arguing and walking in the circle. Varied and balanced diet should provide us with all we need and if leaving out all the highly processed stuff depleted of nutrients, while having enough physical activity, we could be as healthy as our grand grand parents were when having enough food available (i.e. not starving or malnourished). Processed grains and processed meat are equally bad, each damaging our bodies their own ways. The big problem is the industrialization of our food production, bringing high profits to few and miserable health to the masses. We do not eat food anymore, we consume products of the food manufacturing industry. We have been turned into the stock fed by unnatural processed mixtures and standing in a cage all day long instead of freely grazing on the grass fields. They do to us the same as they did to the cows and we are even letting them doing it, at least those advocating low carb approach for the whole population: producing the masses of the sick stock and feeding this sick stuff to sickened people. Such approach is unsustainable.

Remember that most Americans are weak willed and intellectually lazy so they like to have their unhealthy diet endorsed by someone who "claims to be an expert" yet not recognized by the scientific community. Just like creationism.

Hey, that doctor smokes, and says smoking is bad. Don't listen to him!!!!11! Brilliant reasoning.

nickqt Bad analogy. The correct analogy is the doctor who smokes and through his hacking cough tells you smoking is good for you.

andrew547 Good one! You know what the logic really is:-)

***** "It's called science...a scientist or doctor haters information and delivers it." So, a doctor that hates information may deliver it anyway? "He doesn't have to follow his advice." Unapplied science? "Physicians are less likely to smoke and are more likely to eat healthy and exercise frequently than are nurses and the employed adult population. Less than 5% of physicians smoke compared with 15% of nurses and 20% of other workers. www.gallup.com/poll/157859/physicians-set-good-health-example.aspx Add to the fact that such unhealthy doctors may have some technical skills or 'science' background but this does not mean preventive measures or nutrition in general is their specific field of expertise. With a general scientific background, physicians would expected to be less likely to consume meat or smoke. This is exactly what the actual research reveals. Over time, more people, including doctors, are adopting vegan diets. bangordailynews.com/2012/12/21/news/piscataquis/vegan-lifestyle-is-choice-of-mayo-doctor/ But doctors are not perfect either, which is why one is cautioned about taking advice from any doctor, especially one who is obese. "How many doctors smoke ? Less than 25% compared to the rest of the population. And this number continues to drop with older physicians more likely to smoke and not realize the extent of the risks. "in 1972, 2,889 physicians had answered an initial questionnaire and four supplemental questionnaires. Of these, 38.6 percent reported they smoked cigarettes in 1959; 37.7 percent in 1961; 31.8 percent in 1963; 28.3 percent in 1965; and 19.5 percent in 1972. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.3322/canjclin.36.1.2/pdf Don't lose track of the topic - Are you going to listen to advice of someone who is unhealthy or healthy? Keep in mind that nutrition or diet is not necessarily the "science" background of the physician. "They know it's bad and do it by choice." I'll take advice from the doctor who 'knows its bad" and chooses a healthy alternative, rather than the quack who 'knows its bad' and has no practical solution.

You misunderstood. He said: "EXCEPT FOR OMEGA 3 and small amounts of omega 6, POLYUNSATURATED FATS are bad for you." Omega 6 is necessary, but in tiny amounts. That means he is saying Omega 3 is good for you. As long as the proportion between omega 6 and 3 is correct, then omega 6 is healthy as well. (Most of us have way too much omega 6 and way too little omega 6 and saturated fats.)

I already know this, but at first he said polyunsaturated fats are bad.. and then later like 10 minutes later saying you need omega 3, which I agree..but it's like the guy didn't edit his own write up.

Hmm, well if you watch the entire video you can understand what he means. He is getting on in age, and many people get nervous in front of a crowd. Even professionals like Harrison Ford still have stage fright in front of a crowd.

He did NOT say omega 3 was bad. He said just the opposite. He did say however, that Omega 6 is not good.

Yeah, I don't remember him saying anything about omega 3 being bad either, I just didn't want to re-watch the video just to confirm what Travis said. I'm quite sure I would have caught that, as I am pretty nitpicky.
