A high-carbohydrate breakfast based on breakfast cereal sets the stage for an unstable blood sugar and lack of energy throughout the day. A much better and far healthier choice if you are going to eat breakfast is a breakfast consisting of bacon and eggs.

We have been told to cut back on fat and to strictly limit our consumption of saturated fat because saturated fat raises cholesterol and higher cholesterol increases risk for heart disease. It turns out that this is bad advice and in fact a humongous lie.

The ADA recommending a low-fat diet as nutritional therapy for diabetes is totally mad since a low-fat diet is necessarily a high-carbohydrate diet, and carbohydrates raise blood sugar, making diabetes worse. Establishment health advice cannot be trusted.

The false claim that saturated fat causes heart disease is a perfect example of how a big lie, if repeated often enough, is eventually believed. There is nothing unhealthy about a high-fat, low-carb diet. Humans have eaten this way for millions of years.

Animal foods containing saturated fat and cholesterol make up a large part of most low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diets. It has been falsely claimed by some authorities that fatty foods cause heart disease, but sugary and starchy foods are actually to blame.

One of the most destructive health myths of the 20th century was the hypothesis, first proposed by Ancel Keys, that high-fat diets, and saturated fat in particular, cause heart disease. The real culprits are foods such as refined sugar and vegetable oils.

Eat fat to lose fat. This might sound counterintuitive, but there is a good reason why this works. If you replace carbohydrates in your diet with fat, your body will produce less insulin, which means that you will store less fat and burn fat more easily.

The most effective intervention for preventing or treating type 2 diabetes and other related metabolic disorders is carbohydrate restriction. This is a highly effective way to prevent and treat heart disease as well. Lives can be saved by limiting carbs.
