It was started by a severely misguided fanatical nut named Ancel Keys . Keys DELIBERATELY OMITTED data that contradicted his false ideas. His study is FRAUD , DECEPTION and is TAINTED.

Upon further investigation it STILL does NOT support the Cholesterol Theory as CHD rates VARIED 2-6 FOLD WITHIN, WITHIN nations

Excercise stress reduction, meditation etc

NOTHING has ever been attributed to low fat.

Secondly the randomized clinical trials to date show that saturated fat does NOT increase CHD mortality or incidence at all

There are exactly 18 randomized clinical dietary intervention trials to date The most recent one destroying the cholesterol MYTH is The Women’s Health Initiative 2006

I have lost weight eating a controlled-carb nutritional approach…a LOT of weight. How can I just sit idly by on my hands and not be exhuberant about the change in my life? I cannot and will not because it is arguably the best thing I have ever done for my health. So why not tell the whole world about it?

Conversely, you’ve got the PETA crowd (whether you like it or not, that radical group DOES speak for every vegetarian and vegan out there) who are spreading propaganda about how “dangerous” eating meat is. That’s just sour grapes if you ask me.

You have never heard me lambaste anyone who wants to eat a vegetarian diet if it is helping them get their weight and health under control. I’m all for people finding what works for them and then doing it forever. That’s my philosophy and I’ll never stand in the way of anyone finding their way to success.

I’m happy to eat my “dead animals” (am I supposed to eat them ALIVE?!?! EEEEK!) and keeping myself fit and healthy for the rest of my long life thanks to livin’ la vida low-carb.

I appreciate your comments, Katt, but you my dear are part of the problem not the solution to the obesity and health problems America faces.

I have dial up, and can’t always listen to your podcast, even on my “good” days. So I really appreciate when you can put the transcipt up where folks like me can read through it, and benefit from it as well.

The no-meat, low fat, low calorie folks just drive me crazy on most days. Their agenda isn’t a matter of seeking out acceptance, but one of converting the whole world to their own warped way of thinking. Even if they have to lie to do it. I guess that’s worst part of it.

I tried a high profile, low fat, low calorie diet once. Weight Watchers to be exact. I knew better, since I had read Dr. Atkins’ first book back in 1975. At that time I lost 40 pounds on the original Atkins diet, which was goal weight, but wasn’t able to keep it off due to an unsupportive spouse. Constant opposition. Diet Sabbotage and all of that.

But my sister had lost a lot of weight on Weight Watchers, my mother was willing to pay for the weekly fees, and my husband wasn’t as opposed to it as he had been to low carb. Believing it wouldn’t cost him as much in the pocketbook department.

I lost 60 pounds doing it. But boye was I sure hungry all the time. Miserable. Food obsessed. With all of that counting and measuring and graphs and keeping track of every little weekly extra calorie.

When I got seriously stuck at 160 pounds (I’m 5ft 2in so I had a ways to go yet), for weeks on end, I began to grow desperate. But I was so hungry I couldn’t think straight. And the “only” way to get my weight to drop below that magic 160 number was to literally starve it off.

Well, that didn’t last long. Cause I was driven to eat an entire box of Weight Watcher’s ice cream sandwiches in a single afternoon, and just called it quits. It wasn’t worth it to me.

Later on, my sister and I tried to just do low-fat, no calorie counting, no one telling us what to eat, but that didn’t work for me either. I gained 10 pounds that month.

Maybe for those who aren’t so metabolically resistant to weight loss, the hunger isn’t as much of a problem, but that’s really, really hard to believe. Especially since I’ve lived on both sides of the fence now.

But then, maybe “that’s” the whole problem Jimmy. They haven’t lived on both sides of the fence, so their ignorant to the reality that “both” lifestyles work. Scientifically speaking.

Too bad. It might be a very interesting experiment indeed. But then, those kinds of folks would rather lie than put “the truth” to the test by going on low carb for 6 months, and proving us wrong. LOL.

THANKS for checking in Laura! I’m happy to be doing what I am doing (even in a small way!) to help others find the joy of success that I have. THANK YOU for listening to my podcast show.

Happy Low Carbing!

The low fat diet just made me fatter and fatter and I ended up diabetic, with high blood pressure & high cholesterol. Now that I’ve adopted the “unhealty” low carb lifestyle, I’m getting better. If low fat worked for that guy, great, I’m happy for him. But it didn’t work for me.

Maybe he should read the book “Beyond Pritikin”, written by the former Director of that diet institute, after she left - DISGUSTED with the disastrous long-term effects this extremely low-fat diet had on the patients! I bet he never heard of that one, huh?

The facts are that the Pritikin diet, even more imbecilic and dangerous than Ornish’s dietary delusions, has literally killed thousands of people - most of them from heart failures and stroke. If that guy doesn’t believe it, give him my email, Jimmy. I’ll send him a couple of autopsy reports and clinical studies that should open his eyes (although I doubt anything will open them).

This man is perhaps innocent and actually believes this unscientific nonsense. But people like Ornish and other proponents of extremely low-fat diets *must* know better, unless of course they ignore all sicentific evidence. Since their LIES killed my father, I will never stop exposing their nonsense. Because that’s what it is, pure, undiluted nonsense mixed with misconceptions, half-truths and propaganda.

A very lethal combination.

Thankfully a few of us have discovered the truth, but there are many more who are being left in the dark. I’ll do my best to reach the masses.
