I went to a real food, high in natural fats diet, and lost 40lb, doubled my HDL to 80, and plummeted my trig's to below 100. Not only that, my health overall is dramatically improved - no weakling skeleton look for me, and no more of the countless small complaints from skin to itching, breathing, sunburn, poison ivy, and more.

For those that doubt, check the science. There are dozens of research studies showing LCHF (Low-Carb/High-Fat) diets being vastly superior to low-fat diets for weight-loss, glycemic control, cholesterol ratios and triglyceride levels.

There is NO evidence whatsoever after 50 years that dietary saturated fats have ANY connection to heart disease or cancer.

That is a fact.

Here's a link to many of those studies: dietdoctor(dot)com/weight-loss­-time-to-stop-denying-the-scie­nce

Let's start a revolution! Google Peter Attia and Gary Taubes to find out why you're getting fat, and how to change it.

I'm so pissed right now.

Mr. Diamond sounds credible enough for me to try out a new eating habit. I will come back & express my personal results. Thank you.

@MannySteinerBIeeky Every year Americans use a staggering five hundred million pounds of toxic pesticides in and around their homes, schools, parks, and roads--a growing health risk for people and the environment.
