No-Bologna Facts
- There’s never been a single study that proves saturated fat causes heart disease.
- As heart-disease rates were skyrocketing in the mid-1900s, consumption of animal fat was going down, not up. Consumption of vegetable oils, however, was going up dramatically.
- Half of all heart-attack victims have normal or low cholesterol. Autopsies performed on heart-attack victims routinely reveal plaque-filled arteries in people whose cholesterol was low (as low as 115 in one case).
- Asian Indians - half of whom are vegetarians - have one of the highest rates of heart disease in the entire world. Yup, that fatty meat will kill you, all right.
- When Morgan Spurlock tells you that a McDonald’s salad supplies almost a day’s allowance of fat, he’s basing that statement on the FDA’s low-fat/high-carbohydrate dietary guidelines, which in turn are based on … absolutely nothing. There’s no science behind those guidelines; they were simply made up by a congressional committee.
- Kids who were diagnosed as suffering from ADD have been successfully treated by re-introducing natural saturated fats into their diets. Your brain is made largely of fat.
- Many epileptics have reduced or eliminated seizures by adopting a diet low in sugar and starch and high in saturated animal fats.
- Despite everything you’ve heard about saturated fat being linked to cancer, that link is statistically weak. However, there is a strong link between sugar and cancer. In Europe, doctors tell patients, “Sugar feeds cancer.”
- Being fat is not, in and of itself, bad for your health. The behaviors that can make you fat - eating excess sugar and starch, not getting any exercise - can also ruin your health, and that’s why being fat is associated with bad health. But it’s entirely possible to be fat and healthy. It’s also possible to be thin while developing Type II diabetes and heart disease.
- Saturated fat and cholesterol help produce testosterone. When men limit their saturated fat, their testosterone level drops. So, regardless of what a famous vegan chef believes, saturated fat does not impair sexual performance.

Alright, I'll be the one to ask the question: how do I eat to lose the fat that I do have? I can do it like I did before but I felt like I had no energy after my workouts and was grouchy and put the weight back on pretty fast because I couldn't sustain the diet that reduced the weight. How do I do this and sustain it over a lifetime? I feel like I'm getting my athleticism back but I still look like I'm wrapped in bacon.
We'll have to take a look at what you are currently eating and then adjust it as required. You should end up feeling better with more energy once that's done.
holly crap, I'm going running
Maria, do you want to borrow my Paleo diet book?
Jenn, I would really appreciate borrowing the book. For the most part my eating is pretty clean during the week but tends to fall apart during the weekends. Having more information and being able to stock up on things I like that are at the same time good for me would be helpful.
M,
I have it out for you and ready for tomorrow:)
