I must warn all of you that it is very unlikely that every many will be able to eat as I do over the long term, or in fact, to follow any diet for long which is much different from the one you were trained to by your mother as a child. This is because diet is learned much the same way language, dress and behavior is, and is buried deep and inaccessible, a part of your acculturation and socialization. It requires a powerful will and a determination to change, in order to succeed in adopting the . A few may manage to stay on the diet for years, but unless you are prepared to stick with it for maybe ten or more years, you will drift back into eating what I consider poison. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For some reason my mum was not interested in forcing me to eat the veggies I hated so, and I was able to eat only what I liked – mostly meat, especially hamburger and the fat those at our table would cut from their steaks. Still I had massive struggles abandoning the . I suggest that no non- food be taken home, none allowed in your fridge or pantry (out of sight is hopefully out of mind). Even during the years I was sound man for the Grateful Dead, I stuck to my guns and remained totally carnivorous. Humans were totally hunting peoples until the end of the Paleolithic age. No Paleolithic archaeological dig has ever produced any food residues from vegetables. Chemical analysis of bones from the digs indicates they are the same composition as the African lion, thus, virtually no intake of vegetation. The so called Neanderthin and Paleodiet thus are both nonsense. True paleolithic people were total carnivores and ate no veggies whatsoever. In the relatively short evolutionary period since the consumption of vegetables as food there has not been any real adaptation to such low grade, low energy, difficult- to- digest foods. Because we have no adaptation to digesting or processing vegetables as food, they are all basically very bad for us. We evolved as an active, group- hunting animal. We have a high natural requirement for physical exercise and cannot live long or be healthy without a lot of it. A zero carb diet was the traditional treatment for diabetes before the development of injectable insulin. Neither form of diabetes is found in any other animals in nature, however, when man’s carnivorous pets are fed a grain- based diet they may also suffer this syndrome. In the absence of dietary carbs, the body does not need to produce much insulin and the diabetes essentially . You will never be told this by a doctor because then you would be free of the need for medical intervention and your daily ration of drugs. Blood monitoring on a zero carb regime will quickly confirm the stability of blood glucose. I have eaten nothing but sirloin steaks for months on end, but I do like eggs cheese, many cuts of meat, even organs like liver, tongue, kidneys, and brains.
![]() Fish and chicken are nice too. In fact, I have never . The one meat that needs to e eaten sparingly is liver because it contains a lot of glycogen, as well as vitamin A which can be toxic in excess. All modern veg foodstuff have been extensively modified by selective breeding to reduce to eliminate toxins and still require long cooking, are low in nutrients, and cause a growth of harmful bacteria in the intestine, while the fibrous cellulose residues scratches the delicate lining and cause mucus and scarring. This reduces nutrient absorption and will lead to malnutrition as you age even on a good diet. Meat leaves the stomach as a liquid after about 4. The only thing careful about my diet is: I don’t use salt; I don’t cook the meat much; and I make sure to eat a lot of fat. Virtually any meat is okay, even for long periods. It is strictly a matter of personal taste. I eat butter, of course. Mayo is normally made with polyunsaturated vegetable oil and is high in omega 6. ![]() If you like the stuff – which I do – you should make your own from egg yolks, macadamia oil, and lemon juice. I also love garlic. Due to where I live, in Australia, I am able to buy meat which is grass- fed and not feed- lot . Grain is not a natural food for bovines, and it requires the animal be fed a special mix of bacteria to digest it. Also, I do not particularly like the taste of feed- lot beef. The common question, “Isn’t a diet of only meat boring?” is simply the result of the heavy spicing of most food items. Actually, each meal of meat, even when un- spiced and exactly the same cut, smells and tastes heavenly. Food does not have to be used as entertainment, but that is what it has come to be in our modern culture. Most meals, especially in restaurants, are commonly treated as showtime. Most vegetables taste perfectly awful and virtually 1. Once habituated to the taste of vegetables, it is so difficult to move away from them that most people will never do it. I eat anything which is not a vegetable or does not contains carbohydrates, like milk or yogurt. Thus any animal will do, and all cheeses – watch the label on cottage cheese, however many kinds have a lot of lactose residue. Use raw egg yolks, beaten well. The oil is slowly drizzled in while vigorously stirring. I don’t add any salt, but add a bit of lemon juice. The right ratio of egg yolks to oil has to be found by experiment, to produce a nice texture. It is a bit tricky, so don’t give up if your first attempt is not what you expect. Eggs are very good food if not hard cooked (which denatures the protein). Don’t eat raw egg white, it has avidin which interferes with biotin absorption. I can eat a dozen eggs a day, easy. Olive oil has a lot of poly- unsaturated fat and a strong, not very pleasant taste, as well. Macadamia nut oil is mostly mono- unsaturated fat which is okay, if not over- consumed, and tastes great too. Palm and coconut oil are both saturated fats and are, therefore, very good food unlike the rest of the vegetable oils which are best avoided. The best thing is to stick to animal fat, which is the perfect fuel our body was . High cuisine was traditionally based on beef tallow, lard, and butter, not vegetable oils. The all meat diet is a HIGH FAT diet, not a high protein diet. Those who are only very slowly losing fat or have stopped losing probably need to lower the carbs to less than 5 gms per day, which I term . Since I lost my excess body fat in my 2. I have maintained a nice 6- 1. Eating nothing but meat works, and it works fantastically well. You do not need science projects or extensive research into the past to understand what works, a person’s life experiences should do it. Stefansson’s did it for me. And don’t forget all those Inuit. They also will eat fish and few tribes hunt whales, but the marine animals are mostly taken during the warmer time of year. The tribes that live on or near the ocean will hunt seal by staking out the breathing holes, as do polar bears. You don’t need to go back into the past to find the truth, your body (not your mind) knows what is right and will respond to the right mix. If you ask an Aboriginal man what traditional food is, he will name all the animals he can hunt. If you ask him about other food, he will than tell you about the . Both men and women will hunt, but men rarely gather. The Aborigines are modern hunter- gatherers, their prehistory (dream- time) is not known to science. Oh, by the way – it is not hard to eat raw meat, cut it small, mash it a bit in the mouth and swallow – Inuit eat a lot of their meat raw. Cheese, cream, and butter have had most of the carbohydrates removed and are okay. My eating plan is simple. I just eat meat, any meat. One to six meals a day, and I don’t worry about it. It is all rather yummy. I don’t like to cook things much, so I don’t eat pork. And turkey makes me feel sluggish for hours, so I avoid that one too. I eat a lot of fat, animal fat. Anyone on an . It is as simple as that. Once keto- adapted on a strict meat diet the blood sugar never varies. Therefore, you will not become hungry, even after several days without food. At first, I had to remind myself to eat and it still is a problem on busy days. Evening comes and I might realize I haven’t eaten since daybreak. You need to think about eating. On a zero- carb diet, it is a good idea to eat on a schedule of some kind, because there will be no hunger pangs. It is perfectly okay to only eat one large meal per day, like a three pound steak. But it is likewise just as okay to eat as many as six. I have eaten as much as four or five pounds of steak in a day, and as little as one or two. It matters not, but if you ingest less calories than you are burning, you will lose muscle mass as well as body fat. If you ingest more than you need, the body discards the excess, quite different than is the case with carbs. Meat eaten alone is out of the stomach in 1 hour. Meat is dissolved quickly by the hydrochloric acid. Does Meat Rot In Your Colon? Beans, Grains, and Vegetables! How many times have we all heard this bunk myth repeated?“Humans can’t actually digest meat: it rots in the colon.”And its variant: “Meat takes 4- 7 days to digest, because it has to rot in your stomach first.”(Some variations on this myth claim it takes up to two months!)Like most vegetarian propaganda, it’s not just false, it’s an inversion of truth. And the reason we have a bacterial colony in our colon is because our own enzymes can’t break down everything we eat. The primary reason we need our gut bacteria is to digest the sugars, starches, and fiber—found in grains, beans, and vegetables—that our digestive enzymes can’t break down. Now what is that called, again, when food is being . Cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and other cruciferous vegetables. Whenever we eat grains, beans, and vegetables, we’re not digesting and absorbing much of the plant matter. Contribution of the microflora to proteolysis in the human large intestine.

Ruminant digestive system, courtesy of the University of Minnesota. Click for article. Ruminants, including cattle, bison, deer, antelope, goats, and other red meat, have a special “extra stomach” called the rumen. That is why we can’t eat grass at all, why there is so little caloric value for us in vegetables, and why we call cellulose “insoluble fiber”: it comes straight out the back end. This fact alone proves that humans, while omnivores, are primarily carnivorous: we have a limited ability to digest some plant matter (starches and disaccharides) in order to get through bad times, but we cannot extract meaningful amounts of energy from the cellulose that forms the majority of edible plant matter, as true herbivores can.

![]() Lose Weight Eating Fruits for Breakfast (My Story) – Iam. Not. Obese. Written by Tim. Biologically, it has been noticed that the body has the tendency to start the process of “excretion”, of wastes, towards a time period between 4 AM to 1. PM, which is basically from early morning towards noon. This is one reason why you have a bad breath, coated tongue, dusty eyes and bowel movement in the morning as you wake- up. It’s quite a revelation to understand that the process of excreting wastes, or “detoxifying”, actually continues till noon time (till around 1. PM). When the body is not given ample time to relieve the wastes, not just in the intestines but also in the blood stream and cells in general, it starts storing up these wastes in the cells, intestinal linings and also in the fat tissues. After weight loss, changes in the circulating levels of several peripheral hormones involved in the homeostatic regulation of body weight occur. Whether these changes.How to Use Coconut Oil for Weight Loss? I've had people asking me whether they can use coconut oil topically by massaging the oil into their skin and get the same fat. I am taking Wellbutrin and i wanted to know if it causes weight loss or gain. Also will it interact with my Lipo& B12 shots. The more wastes that are stored up in the body the more unnecessary weight you carry around, plus the toxicity of these wastes leads to a slow down of your body’s functioning leading to health disorders. Eating fruits for breakfast, how it helps weight loss? Eating fruits for breakfast, and sticking to fruits till noon- time, is one of the best ways to not only supply the body with energy for the detox process but also to allow the body the “free time” to give full attention to detoxification instead of being bogged down in the process of digesting foods/beverages. So instead of consuming that bagel, donuts, buttered bread, milk & cereal, omelet or bacon, have a bowl of citrus fruits for breakfast followed by some sweet fruits for mid morning snack. You will be amazed at how brisk you feel in the morning when you eat a fruit breakfast and will notice a definite reduction in your weight within just a couple of weeks of following this eating practice. Whatever be your diet plan for lunch or dinner, you can certainly lose weight fast by including an all fruit breakfast plan into the mix. A wholesome fruit breakfast has several other health benefits than just losing weight, but it’s a definite catalyst to help quicker weight reduction. My personal experience with eating fruit breakfast. ![]() Having lived a highly unhealthy lifestyle of eating processed foods and unwholesome/fattening foods, and touting a sluggish and puffy body as a result, I decided to detox with a fruit breakfast plan based on the insights I got from a book called “Fit For Life” by Harvey Diamond. I decided to focus on eating whole fruits (so that the dietary fiber is not removed) instead of juicing them. I also understood that citrus fruits are like virtual fat burners because of the Vitamin C content present in them that helped the body metabolize fat. So my plan was to eat a bowl of citrus fruits in the morning on empty stomach (around 8 am) and have a snack of sweet fruits, or have a glass of juice, around 1. Some fruits that I included in my breakfast are – Oranges, Kiwi fruit, Grapefruit, Grapes, Tangerines. I also ate an apple, pear or guava, if I felt an appetite for it. Around 1. 1 am I would have a couple of bananas or eat some cut pineapples, mangoes, apple or papaya. Eating fruits allowed me to have an active morning, with no “sluggishness”. I felt more energized, my brain felt more focused and creative and my body as a whole felt agile. I liked the feeling generated by this simple breakfast of fruits and so it was easy for me to continue this eating pattern without requiring any “will power” or discipline. I was able to see some very vivid results with respect to weight loss. I easily lost close to 5 pounds in a period of 2 weeks, despite the fact that I was not into any exercises or work outs at that time. Neither did I make a marked change in my eating patterns at lunch or dinner (I had stopped over- indulging in processed foods, and was focused on eating more whole foods for quite a while before I started this fruit breakfast plan). So the fruit breakfast plan accentuated the process of weight loss for me and helped improve the overall fitness/health of my body. If you’ve never tried this before you will be amazed at the positive results you will see within just a few weeks of sticking to this plan of eating. I would like to answer a few common questions that come through from people who are planning on trying the fruit breakfast plan for weight loss. Are there any fruits that I should avoid eating? Eating fruits has never lead to weight gain in anyone, because it’s a natural food. Therefore the body can sense when it has a reached “satiation” and thus you can avoid over- eating. You can eat as much citrus fruits, or sweet fruits, as your body allows for until it reaches satiation. There are no fruits that you need to avoid, even avocados (that are the only fruits with high fat content) are healthy fruits because they contain essential fats and anti- oxidants. Some people find that mixing citrus fruits with sweet fruits (like bananas, papaya or guava) causes unpleasantness in their stomach, so you might want to avoid this combination. It’s best to give a one hour break between eating citrus fruit and eating sweet fruits. How much fruit should I eat for breakfast? As explained above, you can eat fruits till your body reaches satiation. Fruits are rich in water content which allows for a quicker feeling of satiation, and the natural sweetness of the fruits allows the body to judge clearly on how much calories can be obtained from it, thus giving a “stop” signal as soon as its has had its fill of required calories. Can I eat only fruits through out the day for quicker weight loss? There are some people who try a radical eating change of only taking fruits through out the day, for a quicker weight loss. It’s okay to follow such a diet for a couple of days or even for five days, but I personally feel that any period longer that this would require some educated supervision and consultation. It’s hard to imagine that the body can get all the required essential fats, proteins and minerals simply by eating fruits through out the day. It’s best to focus on eating wholesome foods for lunch and dinner, and eat fruits for breakfast alone. This plan of eating can be continued as a lifestyle and thus allow for a permanently healthy and fit body. Should I follow a specific plan for my lunch and dinner also? Eating fruits for breakfast allows your body the time to “detox” and thus prevents the depositions of wastes in the body even when one is indulging in a slightly unhealthy lunch or dinner based on processed foods, junk foods or fried/fattening foods. But you would be helping yourself lose weight faster if you would stick to a wholesome lunch and dinner, while indulging your “unhealthy” cravings as moderately as possible. Whole foods like vegetables (boiled or stir fried), whole wheat preparations, brown rice (or less polished rice), fish (preferably grilled or baked), chicken (lean cuts without skin, grilled or baked), red meats (moderately), lentils etc. Here’s a list of some easily available wholesome foods that also burn fat. Can I drink coffee or tea with fruits? It’s best to avoid the consumption of coffee, but one can have green tea 3. Coffee, or even milk based tea preparation, may create some unpleasantness in the stomach when taken with citrus fruits. Can I undertake rigorous workout with this breakfast plan? If you are into aerobics or cardio exercises like running, speed walking, cycling, swimming or skipping, you should have no issues with a fruit breakfast, since fruits can easily compensate for the body’s requirement for calories after these exercises (however, you might have to consume more fruits than a person who is not working out in the morning). If you are into resistance work outs like lifting heavy weights, you might have to consider having a protein shake after the workout and eating fruits later in the morning. You can also a have a fruit based protein shake (by adding protein powder to fruit smoothies). In conclusion. Eating fruits for breakfast provides very positive results in your goal towards losing the excess weight in your body. Try it for a couple of weeks to seek the impact it has on your overall health and on weight reduction per se. Once you see the results you will no want to change this habit/plan of eating.

I have tried to synthesise the large volume of information I have researched over the past 2 years into a single page. This is it. Reducing and even eliminating MS symptoms can be a reality. This page outlines how eating the right foods and can help significantly to improve Multiple Sclerosis symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease. I call this my MS diet. It has been compiled with the help of a number of medical doctors and experts, diet consultants, and months of intensive research. ![]() It has helped to keep me living an almost normal life. I hope it will be a help to you too. My Inspiration. Ultimately, my real inspiration has been to help myself. As selfish as it sounds, this has spurred me on to read countless books, speak with numerous experts and medical professionals and spend hours on the Internet. ![]() But now, my passion is to share what I have learnt, and help other women with MS. I have customised a MS diet for me, and you should too. I have used bits and pieces from various sources to put together a MS diet I believe that works. Yes, I am learning more everyday and will be updating things as I go along. Why Is Diet Important To Multiple Sclerosis? Food has the power to heal as well as to hurt. As people affected by MS, we need to focus on food that heals. Everything we put into our mouths ends up in our cells, the power houses of the factory that is our bodies. Certain foods will help the factory work more efficiently whereas other foods will slow down productivity and cause certain parts to malfunction. Such is the importance of the casual choices we make several times a day when we decide what to eat. For people with MS, this decision is even more important than for the average person. There are certain foods that seem to cause an allergicreaction in the body and activate the immune system. An auto- immune attack follows which results in a variety of multiple sclerosis symptoms. Before we discuss individual foods and how they impact our bodies, we must take a quick look at why the body reacts negatively towards certain food particles. Our stomach lining or gut is usually impermeable to food particles, preventing them from passing into the bloodstream. In a healthy gut, there are millions of microorganisms that help food to be properly digested and aid in keeping the stomach wall nice and healthy. However, it can become damaged through the use of substances such as antibiotics, non- steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), aspirin, alcohol and tobacco. It can also be caused when the healthy bacteria in our stomach is taken over by unhealthy bacteria. This condition is often referred to as Candida. Unfortunately most of us have a leaky gut now and then so we should all be carefully listening to our bodies to find out what foods make us feel vibrant with health or leave us feeling sluggish and bloated. A healthy MS diet will help minimise this as far as possible. Leaky Gut Syndrome - Activation of the Immune System. Our damaged stomach lining is now permeable and starts allowing tiny particles of undigested food into the bloodstream. The immune system mistakes the food particles for invaders and is activated to attack. When you eat that particular food again, the immune system remembers it as an invader and calls in the troops to begin an attack. A food sensitivity is thus created. Researchers have found that immune cells are first activated in the blood stream before they cross the blood brain barrier and do their damage in the nervous system. Just one tiny particle of food can cause this reaction so it's best to completely eliminate foods that you know could possibly lead to a relapse. That small bite of something 'naughty' just isn't worth it! Is This A Cure For MS? There isn't concrete evidence that diet is a . Many doctors are still not convinced diet helps at all to reduce MS symptoms and exacerbations . The difficulty is that everyone reacts differently to having Multiple Sclerosis. Just as some people are allergic to certain foods while others are not, following an MS diet correctly is not a guarantee that it will work for you. But, you only have something to gain by following it - your body will love you for it! Increasing your overall health is going to benefit you in ways you haven't yet imagined. I believe that everyone has a great chance of managing their MS successfully through diet. Once you understand that the stomach and MS are linked, it is clear that a healthy gut can reduce MS symptoms. Reason enough for you to give it a chance and stick to it for the long run, until a real cure is found. Just before we get into the MS diet details, remember, I'm not a doctor so please ensure you consult with a medical professional to see whats right for you - I’m just someone who wants to share what has worked for me! A. Foods To Avoid - Dangerous for your MS Diet. MS nutrition is a vital element of the defence of body again Multiple Sclerosis. It is, however advisable to cut out all of the following foods for at least three months. This is enough time for your body to rid itself of all traces of these foods and for your stomach lining to heal itself. It should also be sufficient time for you to see an improvement in your symptoms. Some people are able to reintroduce a few of these foods after this period without experiencing a serious MS relapse. However, most people find that their symptoms start returning again and that they need to permanently exclude these foods from their Multiple Sclerosis diet. Every person is different and you need to listen carefully to your body and the way it is responding to what you are eating. The following list is about every day foods that you might eat as part of your normal diet. I have specifically excluded supplements as I will be going into that in a lot more detail separately, so this page is primarily about foods you should and shouldn't eat as part of your Multiple Sclerosis diet. It appears that not all of the following foods have the same negative impact on every person with Multiple Sclerosis - if you are aware of any others, please leave a comment below. Dairy/Cow's Milk Products. Foods To Avoid: Milk, butter, buttermilk, cheese, cottage cheese, ice- cream, cream, whey powder. Researchers and nutritionists are becoming increasingly convinced that cow’s milk consumption has a role to play in the development and maintenance of MS. Researchers have found a high correlation between cow’s milk consumption and MS in many countries. Studies conducted in Germany and Canada have provided a possible reasons why this may be so. A number of cow’s milk proteins appear to be targeted by the immune cells of people with MS. The cow's milk MS link is further reinforced by the finding that certain proteins in cow’s milk mimic part of the myelin sheath protein, the part of myelin thought to initiate the autoimmune reaction, so it really should be excluded from your MS diet. MS Diet Alternatives: Rice milk, almond milk (try to make sure that these products are 1. Soy products are also an option but eat them with caution because some people have a negative reaction to them. Gluten and Wheat. Foods To Avoid: Bread (white and brown), barley, bulgur, cous- cous, oats, pasta, biscuits, cakes, cookies, rye. Gluten is a protein found in the above foods. In many people with multiple sclerosis, this protein provokes the activation of the immune system, causing it to attack. It is interesting to note that wheat is a staple food in most of the countries in which MS frequently occurs. However, in many of the tropical countries, where Multiple Sclerosis is virtually unheard of, it is not a crop that is commonly grown. MS Diet Alternatives: Rice cakes, corn thins, gluten- free bread, gluten free pasta, quinoa, brown/wild/basmati rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes (keep to a minimum as you ideal want a low blood- sugar level), corn on the cob, millet. Saturated Fats. Foods To Avoid: Red meat, butter, margarine, chocolate, lard, cheese. Dr. Roy Swank, probably the most famous Multiple Sclerosis diet researcher in the field had quite a bit to say about saturated fat. He was given the opportunity to spend 5 years researching MS and discovered that diet affected MS prognosis. His findings later became 'The Swank Diet'. One of the main proponents of his MS diet is eliminating saturated fat. His theory is that people with MS do not process saturated fats effectively which leads to embolisms of these fats forming in the bloodstream. This eventually leads to a breach the blood brain barrier, allowing activated immune cells to cross and do their damage. Swank's longitudinal study of MS nutrition, the participants who were disciplined about saturated fat consumption saw the most dramatic improvements in their conditions. However, Dr Terry Wahls, author and physician who has recovered from secondary progressive Multiple Sclerosis, does allow some saturated fats through grass- fed meats and venison - but after reading The China Study by T Campbell, I am following a more vegetarian approach as I think this more healthy overall. MS Diet Alternatives: Salmon and other oily fish, Extra Virgin olive oil, coconut oil, flax seed oil, cocoa, coconut oil. Heated Fats (in any form)Foods To Avoid: Crisps, deep fried chips/fries, baked goods, roasted nuts, roast potatoes. Most fats change their molecular structure when they are heated at high temperatures. In this form, they cannot be absorbed by the body and instead do damage to the cells. When cooking, use a little coconut oil that is not easily damaged by heat. MS Diet Alternatives: Roasted vegetables sprinkled with olive oil once they are out of the oven, raw nuts, dehydrated nuts (using a dehydrater), popcorn (air popped in a popcorn maker and then tossed with olive oil). Note on Margarine: Even though this product is not technically a saturated fat, it is an exceptionally unhealthy fat to eat. Margarine contains trans- fatty acids which are not easily absorbed by the body. Professional guidance. 21 day programme, 30 days support. Personalised support call before you begin.

It was unthinkable to knock back my ritual cups of coffee every morning without brown sugar, or a pile of sourdough toast without a thick layer of preserves.

I continue to eat out a lot and do the best I can. Also, to be completely candid, I broke the diet twice - - once to sample a dessert in Korea that I'd never seen before, and another time when I had dinner at my partner's family reunion and didn't want to make a fuss by turning down cousin Theresa's amazing four- hour meringue.

Other conditions involving the large intestine and rectum may also involve the procedure. During a colonoscopy, a flexible tube with a small camera is inserted into the rectum to view the entire colon. Diet is critical, because any remains in your colon may obstruct the camera’s view, advises the Mayo. Clinic. com. Begin prepping for a colonoscopy about four days before the exam. Your doctor will advise you about following the proper diet before your scheduled colonoscopy. Several days before your colonscopy, focus on lighter foods your body can digest more easily.

The University of Virginia Digestive Health Center suggests starting colonoscopy diet preparation up to seven days before the exam if you regularly consume a high- fiber diet, or suffer from frequent constipation. Some foods and beverages should be avoided before your colonoscopy. Avoid high- fiber foods such as large amounts of fruit, vegetables, cereals, bran and whole- grain pastas.

Top 7 Most Common Reactions to Your High- Fat Diet (and How to Respond)A couple weeks back, I wrote about the top 8 most common reactions you get when people hear you don’t eat grains, and I offered up some concise responses to those reactions. It was well received, so I thought I’d do the same thing for “your high- fat diet.” If you thought having to explain your grain- free diet was tough, explaining a high- fat diet – in particular, a high- animal fat diet – may seem even harder. At least with a grain- free diet, you’re merely removing something that many hold near and dear to their hearts. It’s “healthy” and “delicious,” sure, but at least you’re not adding something that will actively kill you. Fat is that deadly thing, for many people. It’s “fat,” for crying out loud. Raw Food Boot Camp is unique in the raw food diet world,the fast weight loss world, and the dieting world in general. While we are called Raw.It’s bad for you, practically a poison. I mean, have you seen what fat down the kitchen drain does to your plumbing? Actually, like the grain- free diet, explaining the high- fat diet is not that hard. I’ll even promise you that there are ways to do it, explanations and answers that don’t make you seem like a crazy person who hates his heart (I make no such promises for those of you with a stick of butter with bite marks and a tub of coconut oil with a greasy spoon beside it on your office desk, however). ![]() Weight loss 5 rules of fast fat loss Never mind the myths. Follow this guide to get—and stay—lean. Now let’s get right to their questions and responses you can use: “Isn’t all that fat gonna glom onto your arteries?”That isn’t how it works. Atherosclerosis is caused by oxidized LDL particles penetrating the arterial wall, inciting inflammation, and damaging the arterial tissue. It is not caused by fat mechanistically attaching itself to the surface of the arteries like fat in a kitchen pipe. Also, it’s not like you eat some butter and that butter gets directed straight into your bloodstream.
![]() Your blood doesn’t have oil slicks running through it, or congealed droplets of grease gumming up the passageways. You are the product of millions upon millions of years of evolution, and I think our bodies can do better than trying to ape modern plumbing. ![]() Response: “My arteries are not pipes. Fat is not solidifying in my blood like it can in the plumbing. Atherosclerosis is a complex process with dozens of factors beyond what’s in your diet, let alone the fat content.”“Isn’t all that cholesterol gonna raise your cholesterol?”If I were a rabbit, sure. When you feed cholesterol to an herbivorous animal, like a rabbit, whose only encounters with dietary cholesterol occur in a lab setting, their blood lipids will increase and they will usually develop atherosclerosis. For many years, the “cholesterol- fed rabbit” was a popular model for studying heart disease and gave rise to the now- popular idea that dietary cholesterol also elevates blood lipids in humans (thus immediately condemning them to a heart attack, naturally). Except it isn’t the case. Save for a select few who are “hyper- responders,” the vast majority of people can eat cholesterol without it affecting their cholesterol levels. And even when dietary cholesterol affects blood lipids, it’s usually an improvement, increasing HDL and the HDL: TC ratio while leaving LDL mostly unchanged. As for where all that blood cholesterol comes from, we make pretty much all the cholesterol in our blood in- house, and dietary cholesterol tends to suppress endogenous cholesterol synthesis. ![]() Boy, between “staying local” and “only making as much as we need,” our livers are downright green. I bet our HDL is GMO- free and organic to boot (not so sure about those sneaky LDL particles, though). Response: “Dietary cholesterol does not affect total blood cholesterol. In fact, when we do eat cholesterol, our bodies make less of it to keep our blood levels in balance.”“Isn’t all that fat gonna make you fat?”Fat doesn’t make you fat. While you can technically overeat enough fat calories to accumulate adipose tissue, thus getting fat, this is a difficult feat, for two primary reasons: Fat is very satiating, especially when paired with low- carb eating. Grass- fed pot roast, ribbed with yellow fat, connective tissue, and ample protein is far more filling than some crusty bread spread with butter. You’ll eat a decent slice of the former and be done, but you could easily polish off half a loaf of the latter with half a stick of butter and still be hungry. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s difficult to overeat on a high- fat, low- carb diet. Dietary fat in the presence of large amounts of dietary carbohydrates can make it difficult to access fat for energy, while dietary fat in the presence of low levels of dietary carbohydrates makes it easier to access fat for energy. Couple that with the fact that fat and carbs are easier to overeat together, and you have your explanation. In fact, studies have shown that low- carb, high- fat diets not only reduce weight, they also retain or even increase lean mass. That means it’s fat that’s being lost (rather than the nebulous “weight”), which is what we’re ultimately after. Response: “No. Eating a high- fat, low- carb diet is the easiest way to inadvertently eat less without sacrificing satiation or satisfaction. It also improves your ability to access stored body fat rather than lean mass, which is helpful for fat loss.”“But Dean Ornish/my mom/Walter Willet/the AHA/my doctor said saturated fat will give you heart attacks.”They all may say that, and sound pretty convincing as they say it, but the science says differently. I tend to listen to the science, rather than what I think the science is saying: A 2. CHO with high glycaemic index is more effective in the prevention of CVD than reducing SAFA intake per se.”From a 2. Japan, saturated fat intake “was inversely associated with mortality from total stroke.”A 2. CHD or CVD.”That looks pretty clear cut to me. Response: “The most recent studies have concluded that saturated fat intake likely has no relation to heart disease, contrary to popular opinion.”“Where do you get your energy?”I get my energy from fat, both dietary and stored body fat. At 9 calories per gram, fat is the densest source of energy. I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but humans tend to store it on their bodies. That’s not just for show, you know. ![]() We actually store it in our bodies as energy for later, for leaner times, for when food isn’t available. Fat is the ideal energy source for life’s daily activities; walking, working, even going for a hike or a light jog all access the oxidative, or fat- based energy pathway. Carbs only really come into play when you’re doing repeated bouts of intense exercise, like sprint intervals or high- intensity endurance training. But for just about everything else? Fat is king. Response: “Fat is the body’s preferred and most reliable form of energy, which is why we store excess energy as fat on our bodies. Unless you think we accumulate body fat just to make pants fit tighter.”“But isn’t fat totally free of nutrients? How do you get your vitamins if you’re eating all that fat?”The richest source of natural tocotrienols (vitamin E), potent antioxidants, is red palm oil – a fat. One of the richest sources of choline, a vital micronutrient for liver function, is egg yolk – a fat. One of the better sources of vitamin K2, an oft- ignored nutrient involved in cancer prevention, arterial health, and bone metabolism, is grass- fed butter – a fat. The best dietary source of vitamin D, a nutrient most people are deficient in, is cod liver oil – a fat. See what I mean? Also, even when you’re cooking with a fat that doesn’t contain many vitamins, that fat is still going to improve the bioavailability of the fat- soluble vitamins (like A, D, E, K, K2) in the food you’re cooking. Response: “Certain fats, like egg yolks, palm oil, extra virgin olive oil, cod liver oil, and grass- fed butter, are some of the most nutritious foods in existence. And without fat in your meals, you often won’t absorb all the nutrients that are present in other foods like leafy greens, since many of them require fat for full absorption.”“Doesn’t the brain run on carbs, not fat?”Yes, the brain requires glucose. However, the brain is more of a gas/diesel hybrid. It can run on both fat and glucose. Ketones, derived from fatty acids, can satisfy the majority of the brain’s energy needs, sparing the need for so much glucose. You’ll still need some glucose, as the brain can’t run purely on ketone bodies, but you won’t need nearly as much. And, best of all, your brain will run more efficiently on a combination of ketones and glucose than on glucose alone. That improved efficiency means you can actually function without food. Since you have ample brain energy stores on your body (even the lean among us have enough body fat to last for weeks), and a high- fat diet allows you to access that body fat for brain energy, you’ll no longer suffer brain fog just because your afternoon meeting went a little long and you missed lunch. Instead, you’ll enjoy steadier, more even energy in mind and body. Additionally, your body, through a process know as gluconeogenesis, can make up to 1. Response: “While it’s true that the brain requires some glucose for energy, using fat- derived ketones as well can make the brain run more efficiently and reduce its glucose requirements. On top of that, your body can probably create more glucose than your brain even requires.”Compared to last week’s grains post, there were fewer entries today, the simple reason being that while grains are hyped beyond belief, people have but a few scant – albeit robustly defended – justifications for fearing dietary fat. The backlash almost always revolves around the visceral fear of “fat.” It’s a scary word, after all, but it shouldn’t be. No one should fear something so vital to life, so crucial for nutrient absorption and hormonal function, and so delicious with roasted vegetables. Hopefully, these responses will help curb some of that fear. So, what’d I miss? What else have you heard, and how did you respond? Let me and everyone know in the comments! Prefer listening to reading? The Best Fat Loss Diet Plan For Losing Fat Fast & For FREE! If you’re reading this, it means your primary goal is losing fat. I don’t care if you want to lose 1. I don’t care if you’re male or female, young or old. If you want to know how to lose fat as effectively as possible, and put together the absolute best diet plan to make it happen. In fact, it’s the ONLY real requirement for losing fat. Specifically, the ideal daily caloric deficit for both men and women is 2. The ideal caloric deficit will cause you to lose weight at the ideal rate. For most people, that ideal weight loss rate is between 0. People with an above average amount of fat to lose can lose it at a rate of 2lbs (or more) per week. People with an average amount of fat to lose should it lose at a rate of 1- 2lbs per week. People with a below average amount of fat to lose should lose it at a rate of 0. Weigh yourself at least once per week first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and keep track of your weight (or, weigh in every morning and take the weekly average). If it’s decreasing at the ideal rate, you’re perfect. If it isn’t, adjust your daily calorie intake up or down until it is. Protein. The ideal daily protein intake for men with the primary goal of losing fat (and getting the various benefits protein brings to the overall fat loss process) is 0. For women with the primary goal of losing fat (and getting the various benefits protein brings to the overall fat loss process), it’s 0. This protein intake should typically come mostly from high quality whole food sources (chicken, meat, fish, etc.) and if needed or preferred, protein powder. Fat. The ideal daily fat intake is between 2. This fat intake should primarily come from monounsaturated and polyunsaturated sources (nuts, olive oil, fish/fish oil, etc.). Saturated fat should account for no more than 1/3 of your total fat intake, and trans fat should be avoided completely. A definite emphasis should be placed on getting a sufficient amount of your essential fatty acids, specifically the omega- 3 (which is easiest to get by taking a fish oil supplement). Carbs. The ideal carb intake is simply whatever is left after an ideal protein and fat intake have been factored in. The majority of this carb intake should typically come from unprocessed nutrient- rich sources (rice, potatoes, vegetables, fruits, oats, whole grains, etc.). Highly refined junk should be limited to some extent. Enjoyability And Sustainability. Once you’ve set your total calorie and nutrient intake to their ideal levels, the key is putting your entire diet together in whatever way will make you most likely to stick to it consistently. Meal frequency and timing doesn’t matter (PRE/POST workout meals are the only exception). So if you’d rather eat 3 meals per day, go for it. If you’d rather eat 6 meals per day, go for it. If you’d rather eat early instead of late or late instead of early, do it. In the end, all that matters is what you eat and how much you eat. Do whatever is most enjoyable, convenient and sustainable for you. Choose foods and adjust your diet based on your own personal preferences and needs. As long as you get your calorie and nutrient totals right for the day (and get them from mostly high quality sources as opposed to processed useless junk), everything else is just a minor detail that should be put together based on what’s best and most all around preferable for you. If you are the type of person who would benefit from using cheat meals and feel they will help you stick to your diet in the long term, then you should definitely make cheat meals a regularly scheduled part of your diet. Ideal use would be a maximum of 1- 2 cheat meals (properly done) per week. PRE & POST Workout Nutrition. Surround your weight training workouts with meals that contain a good amount of protein and carbs. For your PRE workout meal, either consume a normal solid food meal 1- 2 hours before your workout, or consume a fast, easily digested liquid meal/shake 0- 3. For your POST workout meal, either consume a normal solid food meal or a liquid meal/shake as soon after your workout as possible (ideally within the first 3. Supplements. NO supplement is required for losing fat. However, there are some that could definitely be beneficial and help improve some aspect of the fat loss process (and your overall health) to some degree. In no specific order, the main ones are: whey protein powder (and/or casein), fish oil, and a multivitamin. Weight Training, Cardio and Exercise In General. As much as I hate to mention it, the honest truth is that exercise (weight training or cardio) is NOT required for fat loss to take place. Really, it’s true. The one and only thing you need to do to lose fat is get your diet plan right (specifically: create a caloric deficit). That’s it. Of course, if your goal is to build muscle, get stronger or improve performance, then working out correctly is most definitely a requirement. But for fat loss alone, it’s completely optional. The reason I hate bringing this up is because, despite how true it is, I absolutely positively recommend that you ignore it and work out anyway. I know, I know. That probably sounds crazy. I mean, if working out truly is optional for fat loss (as long as your diet plan is what it needs to be), then why the hell would you ever bother working out? Well, there’s 4 really good reasons. Even just a small amount in the right places can completely transform your body for the better. And honestly, there is a very big difference between losing fat and looking skinny, and losing fat and looking fit and lean. That difference maker is weight training. Not to mention, if you want to be stronger, faster, more athletic and just in better overall shape, exercise is the best (and only) way to make that happen. It’s an absolute requirement for maintaining muscle and strength. I know fat loss might be everyone’s primary goal, but there is a secondary goal that you must keep in mind? Well, it’s technically the key to weight loss in general, and that “weight” can actually be two things: body fat OR muscle tissue. As it turns out, the single most effective way to get your body to burn your ugly fat and preserve your pretty muscle is by weight training properly. Whereas weight training is what signals the body to build muscle when that’s your goal, weight training is also what signals your body to maintain muscle when fat loss is your goal. So, you might not need it to actually cause fat loss to happen, but you DEFINITELY need it if you’d like to (at least) maintain your current levels of muscle and strength during that fat loss process.
