Low-Fat Diets are the Darling of the Medical Establishment

But, Doctors and People are Waking-Up to the Harsh Reality that Low-Fat Doesn't Work

Well, of course it does! This was known all the way back in the 1950's. Many studies were published about the biochemical process called "lipogenesis." This is fat-making from non-fat substances such as carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are the most significant source of fat in the human body. It never was fat, in fact, fat does not become body fat unless carbohydrates are around.

But no one involved in the promotion of both the dangers of fat and cholesterol or low-fat eating read any of this research. If they had the whole 50-year experiment that involved every living soul would have never happened.

There have been many reduced-fat diet studies and most of them have been abysmal failures. In one study, after two years, participants had lost just four pounds! From this the researchers claimed that low-fat eating had a strong correlation to weight loss.

This is exactly the stuff I'm trying to point out. These people support this diet�and they'll say anything to sustain their belief system. The media doesn't read the research papers and evaluate them, they advertise the claimed results:

the authors claimed that the subjects ate about 1,300 calories per day
this is impossible because they would lose weight on that
they lived freely and were told to eat 1,300 cals
they ate more
laboratory tests have shown that in all of the studies done during the last 50 years people ate more than they reported

Grains, fruits, and vegetables are part of the low-fat mania and healthy eating agenda.

Low-Fat Eating is Still the Darling of the Medical Establishment

This group will need to be bludgeoned to change their tune -- see facts don't count with this group. They say that's all they care about, but actions speak louder than words.

Even releases from the NIH make no impact on changing our set-in-stone misguided ways.

Even with this statement from the National Institutes of Health during a Consensus Conference Statement for Methods for Voluntary Weight Loss and Control in 1992, nothing has changed:

"There is evidence that altering the proportion of the calories in the diet from fat, carbohydrate, and protein can have a limited effect on weight loss. However, the effects appear to be quite small in�comparison with the direct effect of caloric restriction."

A reduced fat diet was, by that time, known to have failed. Low-carb had been proven but none would look at the studies because of the purported hazards of fat and cholesterol.

Here in 2008, more low-carb studies are in the pipeline and the results are shaking everyone off their rockers.

Since the reduced fat diet using 30% of one's daily calorie intake as the recommended plan to follow didn't work, advocates are now saying to reduce fat even more, to say 20%.

They just don't get it. Some vegetarian, low-fat zealots such as Dr. Dean Ornish hold tenaciously to the low-fat dogma.

All You Have to Know is that Your Body Makes Fat From Carbohydrates

End of story. Reducing fat cannot work unless you really cut the calories. And you'll be so hungry that you can't keep your calorie intake down for long. Don't waste your time running down a dead-end street. If you want to lose weight and/or body fat -- restrict carbohydrates.

There's a right way and a wrong way to accomplish this. The most popular plan is the one proposed by Dr. Atkins. This plan has many problems all of which I've uncovered. I teach you in my body of work HOW and WHY it all works.
