I’m on a diet an I consume about 1700 calories a day I don starve myself. And I burn 700 calories jogging,running, and walking every day so I have a total of about 1000 calories consumed is that good?

signinname41, you did not lose weight from reducing calorie intake. You just didnt eat sugar. Uugar is the only thing that can upset insulin levels(insulin is a hormone that controls weight gain). It has been PROVEN that people who are on a high fat diet lose the most weight.

If they only ate 2 large meals a day, then it’s a flawed study, because large meals are a terrible way to do a low cal. diet. That’s why they were so hungry and had the metabolism drops. You’re supposed to eat smaller, more frequent meals on a low calorie diet. I lost 150 lbs eating small meals on a 1500 cal/day diet without any of those symptoms except for being cold. It really works if you’re not a moron and start your day off with a Denny’s Grandslam.

Gary taubes says to eat all the protein you want, it won’t hurt you. What an idiot.

Food energy kcal: 3,200-3,900 (up 700 calories, lol, madness.)
Carbohydrate grams: 395-474
Fiber: 20-25
Protein: 96-111
Total fat gram: 143-178 —- So up in total, my mistake
Saturated gram: 49-54 Barely moved but is supposedly the main reason to cardiovascular disease
Monounsaturated gram: 57-77
Polyunsaturated gram: 27-39
Cholesterol mg: 430-420 Gone down, yet cardiovascular disease has gone way up.

Stats between 1970 and 2006.

I found this
Total fat consumption expressed as a percent of caloric intake has steadily decreased since 1965. However, in the past 5 years, the decrease in percent of calories from fat is a result of increased total caloric intake and not necessarily due to decreased fat consumption. The daily fat intake in grams has, in fact, increased in many cases, reversing the trend of Americans consuming less fat in their diet as was reported earlier (3).

I don’t get my dietary advice from the government,its influenced by the meat, dairy and processed food companies.

I don’t deal with what you believe, I deal with facts. Feel free to check census gov for FACTS on fat, carb and protein intake during the last 50 years. In i.e. Sweden saturated fat intake has gone down with 50% since the 60’s.

Yes of course junk has gone up. If people can not follow dietary advice from the government, does the problem lie with the people or the advice?

I can hardly believe fat consumption has gone down, calorie consumption is WAY up causing the obesity epidemic. People are eating way too much fat, carbs and protein. the carbs you talk about are JUNK, PROCESSED carbs.

Interesting article no doubt and I will consult professionals about their opinion on this, however, implications are hardly enough. If you want implications of the opposite, all you have to do is look at the food pyramide and then look at obesity rates in America. Fat consumption has gone down, while carb consumption has gone up, and obesity has followed the carb intake trend line closely the last 40 years.

ScienceDaily:

A Mechanism For The Development Of Obesity-Associated Conditions

ScienceDaily (Aug. 6, 2008) — Endocannabinoids are substances produced by several cells in the body that are very similar to compounds found in cannabis plants. They have been implicated in the development of many effects of a high-fat diet, including many risk factors for type 2 diabetes: obesity,

high fat causes insulin resistance, my diabetes is under control. The lo carb people may have their diabetes temporarily under control but they are killing themselves otherwise.

Also, are there any stats of life style and if the prevalence of the oldest on Okinawa lived by the coast or in-land? I am sure you see the validity of that question.

Ok, do I want sweet potatoe as my staple food? No.

If you are a diabetic, low carb can cure your diabetes. There are multiple (thousands) accounts of people with diabetes who started eating Low Carb High Fat, who have decreased their insulin treatment or stopped all together. Some testimonies state their doctors can not find any evidence they had diabetes at all. ADA in 2008 included low carb as a way to treat diabetes.

I know all about insulin, im a diabetic. the okinawans except for the coastal people didn’t have a lot of fish. Their main food was sweet potatoes, a little grain, and the rest vegetables with a very small amount of boiled pork
