[Aethren]

Low carb = high fat. There is absolutely nothing wrong with saturated animal fats: that's misinformation based on a study from the 50's aimed at shoving carbs down our throats by the corn refiners and grain producers. Eskimos eat almost no carbs, and have very low heart disease rates and obesity. Get your facts straight lady: There is not a single research that shows increased heart disease and obesity from fat alone, it's always in conjunction with SUGAR. Especially fructose.

if you cut out carbohydrates, your body will start to use fatty acids as a main source of energy, your body converts fatty acids into ketones, and those are used as a fuel source. The way she makes it sounds that if you do not consume carbs, you will die. Look at Eskimo's who consume a very high fat diet, and very low carbs, they live very well into their old age. Ketogenic Diets were and ARE used in hospitals still (mainly for epilepsy, and have a positive effect on weight loss)
