Guaranteed Issue Under 40?

The diet may be good for diabetes but it is a heart attack waiting to happen. Chloresterol is not the only that plugs the arteries. I have never had high chloresterol.

I know. Earlier in the year I was looking at the labels all the time for a while. If the sugar's ok...the salt's to high...if the salt's ok...the cholesterol's too high.

I've tried eating salad, but by the time I put the low fat dressing on it, it's no longer healthy. I eat stuff like carrot sticks, celery, broccoli...but the veggie dip makes it unhealthy. It's really hard to eat healthy!

The main problem with what you described is a high concentration in meaty fat. The fatty fish is OK since it is loaded with Omega 3.

I love fish, but by the time I cover it with tartar sauce, it's no longer healthy.

Or if it is breaded and fried which is the way I like it best.

Gotta have those hushpuppies with it. I love fried foods, other than hamburgers, I cook all my meat in the oven now)unless it's on the grill). Eating healthy's no fun!

As a southern boy my motto is, "If it ain't fried, it ain't fit to eat."

I hear you. My dad's side of the family were from the Arkansas Ozarks, and I remember my grandma making fried fruit pies and fried okra. I don't mind okra fried, but just looking at it boiled makes me want to puke.

You've never had high cholesterol, and yet you had a heart attack. This actually is not unusual. The diet-heart hypothesis was never a proven fact. It remained the brain-child of the first and most vocal low-fat advocate, Dr. Ancel Keys. What most don't know is that Ancel Keys himself ate a high fat Mediterranean diet and lived to be 100 years old. Meanwhile, his low fat high carb recommendations he made to for the rest of the world have resulted in epidemic levels of obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer's, heart disease, etc.

The USDA, in its latest dietary recommendations for Americans, has finally acknowledged that there is no link between dietary cholesterol intake and serum cholesterol levels.

If anyone wants to learn more about how we got to where we vilified fats (which are not fattening and not artery closgging) while celebrating grains and sugars and starches (which have been shown to cause the inflmation that is at the root of all of those diseases I mentioned above) there are some good sources available to you.

The best is probably Gary Taubes's book Good Calories, Bad Calories.

The Great Cholesterol Myth, by Jonny Bowden is also a good source.

The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living by Dr.s Phinney and Volek is both a practical guide to eating this way while also explain the biochemistry that supports it.

There are essential FATS, there are essential amino acids (PROTEINS), but there is no such thing as an essential sugar or essential starch (Carbohydrate).

If anyone is interested, I have attached a .pdf of the "No Sugar, No Starch diet I used to control my blood glucose. It was developed and written by Dr. Eric Westman of Duke University Medical School.

What do means there are no essential starches? Man cannot live by bread alone, he must have fried taters and onions.( and peanuts butter )

Are you telling me there's another way to cook food? For God sakes NO!
