Low Carb - High Fat diet

[russell]

Anyone eat this way, when I say diet I don't mean short term i mean eating this way permanently if possible. 70% of your diet will be from fat (Butter, eggs, meat, oils, milk...) and the rest protein with a few low carb veggies. The dogma that eating saturated fat makes you fat or caused heart disease is being questioned and studies show there is no link and the opposite might be true. Given your brain and nerves are made form mostly fat, and insulin regulates fat cells it seems like the proper way to eat for the human body.

Is this just Atkins?

Yes, but with veg and you don't ever go back to whole grains or any high GI foods. All these diets reintroduce carbs once you have hit your weight, which end up leading to craving and over eating again.

Wheat is also considered toxic, it has a opiate like chemical that increases your appetite.

The point is eating wheat increases you appetite making it very difficult to eat in moderation, try taking heroin in moderation, 6 weeks later you will be offering personal services for a 5 gram bag.

Most people eat wheat and have done for centuries if not millenia. Most thin people eat wheat - NOT eating wheat is a very new trend. Obesity epidemics are far more recent. People are fat because of burgers and chocolate and sedentary lifestyles, if those people stopped eating wheat they'd still be fat pigs.

I take it you didn't read the article, the type of chemically modified wheat today in most foodstuffs was developed in the 80's, high yield, semi dwarf wheat which has this property.
