| I fear we may have to agree to disagree; ironically, I think we have a lot of common ground. I would like to point out of couple of closing thoughts: >It even appears you're meeting the World Health Organization's recommendation to get at least 55% of calories from carbohydrates and probably getting enough fiber (which only 3% of Americans do!) This doubtful; while the total carbs of this diet might reach this threshold- Most designers of well formed teratogenic diets are targeting net carbs (<30g). I would imagine this fiber portion of the carbs (well over 50% in this case) does not really count towards caloric carbs. >you've already exceeded the daily recommended intake for cholesterol (300 mg; each egg contains approximately 250 mg) Unless you have the right (wrong?) mutations, I think the jury is still out on this. Would you be surprised if I told you my serum cholesterol has not been negatively impacted? >Nitrites and nitrates have also been shown to increase insulin resistance and These meals should be limited to what naturally occurs- which is minimal compared to processed meat. >However, let's agree there is room for improvement, especially if you struggle with BMI, high blood pressure.. This diet made it easy (satiety perspective) to shed 60 lbs and take my blood pressure from 138/75 -> 112/66. So while I cannot speak for others I really must disagree for my own account. >On a slight tangent, have you used the website, Cronometer? Very cool website, thanks for the share. Thanks for the interesting conversation. |
