CNN article: Low-fat? Low-carbs? Answering best diet question
When you change two things at once--less fat, more whole grains etc (really
more than one thing) how do you know which one caused the change? You can only get accurate results when you test one thing at a time. Remove the fat, don't change anything else. Add fruits or veggies or whole grains, don't change anything else. d Don Klipstein wrote: | | I am not claiming that low fat is better than low calorie balanced | diet, except for noting that the 8 year study on 49,000 women found a | major decrease in colon polyps from replacing fats with whole grains | and fruits and veggies. | |

That study was attempting to keep unchanged either calorie consumption, or level of food intake to have the study participants making the change to maintain their level of satisfaction with their food intake. I do consider that the decrease in the precursor to a common cancer probably decreased more from increase of antioxidants/vitamins and fiber than from decrease of fat. (The cancers that follow were not effectively tracked by that study or the applicable subset of that study as of the time of the major-news-headlines because that portion of that study was only 8 years old then and it usually takes much longer than that for this common cancer to develop ftrom cancer from "original cause"). Please keep in mind that changing the study conditions to ones that result in major body weight change have effects of their own on cancer rates - it is well established that fatter people get more colo-rectal and breast cancer and less-overweight people get less colo-rectal and breast cancer. (Men with "man-boobs" beyond pectoral muscle mass to any extent even minor or overweight at all - please beware that 7/10 of 1% of breast cancers in USA, a very common cancer having notable correlation with overweightness, strike men.) - Don Klipstein ) |

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. |
