Great website here for those with an empirical take on things.
waroninsulin.com
There's not much to recommend the old "low-fat" diet as far as I can tell. I'm glad for your sake you chose to cut the carbs not the other "option" or I suspect your success would have been much more hard fought. In any case - congrats on the newfound health... it looks like you're on right track. If you find the website above interesting, Gary Taubes' "Good Calories, Bad Calories" is the best over view of the current state of nutrition "science" ever written (it's for the intelligent layman, some people I tell to read it won't plow through, but those with good reading comprehension usually can't put it down once they start).

we have replaced corn oil and canola oil with coconut oil for cooking. We even add it to our coffee. I cook my free range eggs in it and pretty much anything else we used to use corn or canola for.
CO is a good source of medium chain triglycerides that the liver breaks down into keytones that easily pass through the brain cell barrier for added fuel to the brain. It apparently also helps stem the tide in alzheimers and dementia patients.

My brother (medical degree from Duke University) says the exact same thing. He did the research and concluded the FDA and mainstream medicine generally are a threat to your health. He dropped about 40 pounds and is running 5 miles a day now. He focuses on so-called "superfoods" and how they maintain your body's good health over time better than any pharmaceutical regimen could. The FDA's Food Pyramid guidelines are complete ****, as well as the frankenfoods produced with industrial methods and whose safety is rubberstamped by the FDA.

Like I posted a week or so ago,the advice on diet from the gvt and their bought and paid for "experts" makes you cry for the damage being done to the health of this country. Here's another site with some science that makes some sense. http://perfecthealthdiet.com/ |

Can fasting for two days each week stop dementia? It sounds far-fetched, but scientists think slashing calories may combat a host of illnessesBy Jerome Burne UPDATED: 17:54 EST, 27 February 2012 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/articl....Quote:One day in the not-so-distant future, you may find yourself receiving some unusual health advice from your GP: fast two days a week to prevent your brain shrinking with age.
You might be given the same advice to lower your risk of heart disease and diabetes — and even tackle cancer.
Fasting was a common medical treatment in the past, but now new research suggests there may be good reason for it to make a comeback. This is because it seems to trigger all sorts of healthy hormonal and metabolic changes...
...But there’s now emerging evidence to show occasional fasting — which is much more manageable — also carries benefits. Fasting days involve eating between 500 and 800 calories (the usual daily intake for a woman is 2,000 calories, for a man, 2,500).
This intake appears to cause a drop in levels of growth-factor, a hormone linked with cancer and diabetes, as well as a reduction in ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol and triglycerides (fats) in the blood.
Meanwhile, free radicals — the damaging molecules linked to disease — are dampened down. Studies also suggest that levels of inflammation can fall. And now there is the suggestion that fasting protects the brain, too... Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/articl....I believe that the key here is that even though you're "fasting", you get to eat between 500 and 800 calories anyway. When most people think of fasting they think of starving themselves. I could tank up on some vegetable & protein fillers that would get me through the day. I'm not clear if it has to be consecutive days, or if it's two separate days during the week's time.

For those interested, the "primal diet", is geared along the same lines. Less carbs & processed foods; if the food item wasn't around 100 years ago, I try my best to avoid it. Cheers.

Genesis,
Any pointers on what, specifically, you ate and what you avoided?

I cut out 90% of my bread sugar and starch consumption last summer, and dropped 30 pounds in three months. I'm back to what I weighed in college. I can also trust my appetite and just eat when I'm hungry. Breakfast is eggs and sausage or bacon.
So far have had no issues keeping the weight off at a 24 BMI, and this is with zero cardio, just some weight training. YMMV.
But yes, get rid of the bread and corn syrup. Medicare won't last forever.

On fasting, once you get your diet right and then tackle a fast, you will be amazed at how easy it is.
I do a 14-16 hour fast pretty much every day.
Some days I have to force myself to eat a small salad or take a couple tablespoons of CO.
Once you get in tune with what your body really needs you can do it easily.
One of these days I may do a 30 day fast.

Just look at the **** we feed to our kids in schools. Americans are as much to blame on this as the government. Keep voting people in who take massive hand outs from Agra businesses and Monsanto and this is what you will get. Here is what our school lunch looks in comparison to to other countries in the world. http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/what-scho....I cant tell what they feed kids in Japan etc. but it looks like real food compared to the **** we feed our children. |

I'm a physician and I have to say all of you guys know a lot more than the FDA and Dept of Agriculture. Those agencies, particularly the latter, are business advocacy organizations. I should have put "coporate" or "big" in front of business.
My wife just did juicing and immediately dropped 10 lbs.
You all have the general concepts down. Avoid the processed stuff. Avoid refined carbs. Focus on a plant based diet although healthy meat is fine...not the feed lot type of meat that you see with beef or poultry production today.
Kunstler has a point when he says the food industry needs to shift back to a local model. Less input cost and better food.
Check out forksoverknives.com, or the "wheat belly" blog. Its fascinating how much the government agencies have contributed to our demise, both through cardiovascular disease and food born illnesses like E Coli.

My wife is an epidemiologist and nutritionist. Like you said, the worst thing you can put in your body is processed stuff.
To anyone who want to lose weight, next time you are at a grocery store, avoid going into the middle of it (where the processed stuff is) and buy the fresh stuff. Eat that and you will see the pounds fly off.

Another fact is that people will say you must be eatting like a rabbit and when I showed them a weeks log of food, especially the nice rib eye from time to time they are amazed.
You can eat like a king on this kind of regiment and once you get into it a ways the other junk they serve doesn't even look OR smell good at all.
I used to be a pizza junkie and have not touched one for 8-9 months and don't even think of them anymore, same with that horrid diet coke/pepsi and all that other death in a bottle they push.
Talk about drug pushers that should be behind bars!

Weetabix,
Acceptable paleo/primal foods are meat, veggies (not legumes or high starch), some fruit, and fat (butter, coconut oil, and olive oil). Two good sites that I use to learn about this are Mark's Daily Apple (Mark Sisson) and Free The Animal (Richard Nikoley). Check out the success stories. I am transitioning to this diet.

I finally convinced my SO that we're going to buy REAL butter from now on rather than that vegetable oil crap, even if it costs 3x's as much.
