I am just so sick of the phony science that is put forth as nutritional advice. Uh, mineral and vitamin deficiencies from a meat, egg and vegetable diet........that is funny. Animal products are nutritional powerhouses, same goes for veggies. Uh, DUH, what would you rather live on if you had one choice, EGGS or PASTA? I hope your said eggs, because if you did not you would get very sick on that crappy pasta or whatever junk the so called experts push. Man evolved and thrived on meat and veggies!

What is wrong with saturated fat?Can anyone give me proof its bad? Surely its natural.

@SpartanLife1821 You dont know ANYTHING, you are basing your opinions on old-mans knowledge nad roids dieters. idiot! But both calorie defecit and low carb works. Only thing is low carb lets you eat what you want.

In response to SpartanLife1812, the calorie deficit theory is a myth. It has never been the true cause of weight loss.

As a nutritionist, I meet people every day that reduced calories and not losing weight.

Also reduction in food consumption reduces T3 thyroid hormone and this a proven fact. I have all loads of clinical research on this available to anyone who wants.

Check out my channel and learn more.

If you are trying to lose weight by calorie restriction stop! It is a waste of time.

weight loss will come when you run a calorie defecit. So by not eating carbs (the body's prefered energy source) you take in less calories. Its better to have a balanced diet and use excercise to burn up any additional calories. A calorie deficit of 500 calories is perfect every day, AND you can still build muscle at the same time. Carbohydrates fuel your body, fuel your workouts, AND leave the protein available for any muscle repair.

Oh yeah, vegetable oils are much healthier than natural fats from meat.....right. Which veggie oil is it that is so much healthier and safer? Maybe it is the highly inflammatory safflower oil or one of the other unbalanced (high omega 6) GOOD oils. What a load of bunk. Saturated fats are Good for you . Man was never meant to eats lots of those so called GOOD oils. Lots of people, including myself do a very poor job digesting those NUTS and SEEDS that the new age hippie low carbers are so hot on.

@8223Studios  NO!

I agree. I think America is beginning to realize that the bad fat is trans fat, not saturated fat.

The fats can't hurt you once you are in ketosis. Read his book.
