CNN article: Low-fat? Low-carbs? Answering best diet question
I'm not on the atkins diet, but I did eliminate all empty carbs from
my diet, such as bread, rice, sugar, cereal, etc. I eat fruit,
vegetables and lean meat. I don't eat massive amounts of saturated
animal fat. I get a small or modest amount of fat from meat, plus some
fat from salad dressings, plus fish oil pills, and raw nuts. I eat
chicken without the skin. I lost 31 pounds so far. I'm looking better,
feeling healthier, and doing fine. Humans didn't evolve to eat empty
carb type foods, so I am sure that I don't need those. In fact I know
they are extremely harmful and damaging to the body, so there is no
way I will ever eat those foods again. And as long as I don't eat
massive amounts of animal fat, I think I will be fine. I don't see why
not eating empty carbs has to mean eating enormous amounts of animal
fat. Everybody knows that saturated fat is a bad thing. And so are
empty carbs.
