Bull$#@!. I eat a high fat diet and I'm not fat. I also adjust my caloric/macronutrient intake according to my activity level. If your claim were true, the Russians would be obese on average-their diet, on average, is very fatty. However, Russians are known for being thin.
Probably not, this is a fancy event. I have to be on my best behavior. BTW, I don't but baloney and Velveeta on Ritz. I put garlic cream cheese and olives on Chicken in a Biscit crackers - when I'm dieting, I just lick the crackers. I lick Doritos when I'm dieting, too.
Rofl! yep.. that's funny
*enter the conspiracy theorist*
The whole low fat high carb diet was designed to lessen brain development - create more people that cannot think logically, thin the population by disease and sell poisonous alleged food products, fattening big ag's coffers - which explains why so many people are enamored with Bernie... no need to work, I'll just give you free stuff, Sanders - the Saturday morning cartoons with fruit loops generation.

You'll have to share the wine list...
A friend has an autistic child who does that too. He's not wasteful though, and puts everything back when he's had his share. It's not so bad, as he likes the lesser used or desirable parts. Everyone else gets low sodium chips and crackers. He eats the rind off of watermelon and cantaloupe, and likes to suck the center out of tomatoes. It's a pretty good diet, high in fiber, except he usually washes it down with coffee creamer (flavored hydrogenated oil)....when I'm dieting, I just lick the crackers. I lick Doritos when I'm dieting, too.

The views and opinions expressed here are solely my own, and do not represent this forum or any other entities or persons.
Here's where the confusion lies. There's been two types of low fat diets that have been recommended. One by high-profile mainstream groups and the other by not-as-well-known groups.
The bad low fat diet is the one that mentioned in the article:
This is the one recommended by mainstream groups:Professor Iain Broom, from Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, said in agreement: 'The continuation of a food policy recommending high carbohydrate, low fat, low calorie intakes as 'healthy eating' is fatally flawed.
The fatal flaw in this low fat version diet is not because it's high in carbs, or low in fat. It's because it's too low in calories.Our Meal Planning Guidelines:
1550-1650 calories per day

A healthy low fat diet does not recommend restricting calories.

Cutting calories too much makes your body think there may be a famine so it slows your metabolism and tries to store more fat to get through it.
Probably a bunch of hoity toity stuff that come in a bottle with a cork that I can't pronounce, mush less spell.
When I was pregnant, I scraped the middle out of Oreos and put the cookies back for Mr Animal. He didn't appreciate it but I'm not wasteful either so I started crumbling them up on his ice cream.A friend has an autistic child who does that too. He's not wasteful though, and puts everything back when he's had his share. It's not so bad, as he likes the lesser used or desirable parts. Everyone else gets low sodium chips and crackers.

I'm also a shameless double dipper.
That because most people are told by the guys in white coats that their cholesterol is too high and to take a statin to lower it. The cholesterol is what your brain needs, if you do not have it, it will shrink--stroke, dementia and Alzheimers.
Those doctors and hospital doors become revolving because of the low fat/no fat diets people have been told is good for them.
But we have discussed this many time, with you dismissing it--which I am sure you will do again.

Even the veggies I eat most are high fat content. Have you ever had yogurt made with real cream? OMG it is good. I eat real butter(unsalted) lots of olive oil and other nut oils and plain nuts. I won't buy anything that is naturally high in fat that is called "low fat" and I for sure won't eat it.
I have weighed 117 since day after the birth of my child yea even one day after giving birth I could wear my skinny jeans. I did not cut back on fat then either. The only thing that makes me gain weight is alcohol.
Well no, but that's not what makes these crackers bad. It's loaded with fat.
Ingredients: Enriched Flour, Soybean Oil And/Or Palm Oil, Sugar, Salt, Dextrose, Monoglycerides, Monosodium Glutamate (Flavor Enhancer), Baking Soda, Onion Powder, Soy Lecithin (Emulsifier), Natural Flavor, Dehydrated Cooked Chicken, Cornstarch.

These crackers make a great weight-gaining food.
No, it's your ignoring that strokes have been high in this country even before statins and Eskimos on their traditional high "good" fat diet had higher rates of stroke than other groups. Too much saturated food harms endo cells which leads to heart disease and stroke.
There's an easy way to avoid the need for statins, stop eating so much cholesterol rich foods that are also high in saturated fat.
Nuts and oils have good fats (less saturated). Those are good for you. You must have a fairly high metabolism (I used to- things have slowed down lately- started in mid 30's).
If you like a full fat yogurt- check these out. Best I have ever had. http://www.noosayoghurt.com/
Kinda pricey though. The grocery store near me sells them for about $2.00- when on sale. Really creamy. In Colorado (where they are made) I saw them for about $1.50.

And again, dismissing it by pointing to Eskimos. Well, it doesn't seem like Eskimos are as unhealthy as you make them out to be.
The Inuit Paradox – High Protein & Fat, No Fruits/Vegetables and yet Lower Heart Disease and Cancer
Want to know about a group of people who eat primarily only meat and fat, very little fruits and vegetables and are healthier than any other group of people? Well meet the Inuit from the frozen North. They seemed to eat all the things that are blamed for heart disease and cancers (meat and fat) yet somehow had little to no diseases of modern man. Let’s learn a little more about them. Below you will find several resources and reading materials on them (to keep you busy while I do my taxes for the next couple days!). But here are the highlights:
The Inuit traditional diet offers natural protection against two of the planet’s biggest killers — heart disease and cancer
Dewailly says the traditional Inuit diet is high in selenium, common to whale skin, and likely explains why prostate cancer is almost unheard of in the north, as are most other cancers. Cardiovascular disease is also rare, likely because the Inuit diet remains rich in wild game. “The traditional Inuit diet is fats and proteins, no sugar at all,” says Dewailly. “It is probably one of the healthiest diets you can have. The human body is built for that.”

The thing is (as has been discussed many times before), our bodies need cholesterol to function properly. Statins are a scam an only cause more problems, as I stated above.There's an easy way to avoid the need for statins, stop eating so much cholesterol rich foods that are also high in saturated fat.

And lower life expectancy, lower bone density, and higher rates of strokes. Does that really sound healthy too? Heart disease and cancer aren't the only diseases that kill.
And as discussed many times before, our bodies MAKE cholesterol, so technically we don't need it from outside sources. Where does meat from herbivores get its cholesterol?The thing is (as has been discussed many times before), our bodies need cholesterol to function properly.
I've never disagreed with you on this.Statins are a scam an only cause more problems, as I stated above.
Where are the stats they have lower life expectancy?
If you do not feed your body good saturated fats it won't.

From old vines planted on the Mayacamas Mountains, this Gewurz is pungent in lychee and grapefruit, a trace of pepper, ginger and clove hiding beneath the surface. Medium-bodied and dry, it offers a rich interplay between herb and spice plus freshness on the finish. (10/2014)

Inuit Greenlanders, who historically have had limited access to fruits and vegetables, have the worst longevity statistics in North America. Research from the past and present shows that they die on the average about 10 years younger and have a higher rate of cancer than the overall Canadian population.1
Similar statistics are available for the high meat-consuming Maasai in Kenya. They eat a diet high in wild hunted meats and have the worst life expectancy in the modern world. Life expectancy is 45 years for women and 42 years for men. African researchers report that, historically, Maasai rarely lived beyond age 60. Adult mortality figures on the Kenyan Maasai show that they have a 50% chance of dying before the age of 59.2

More at links.For many years, researchers have been unable to properly estimate basic health indicators such as life expectancy at birth for Canada's Inuit population, because of a lack of Aboriginal identifiers on death registrations.
A new study, published today in Health Reports, partially fills this data gap by using a geographic-based approach to estimate life expectancy for the entire population of Inuit-inhabited areas of Canada.
The study analysed death records and census data in the four areas of Canada, where 80% of their combined populations are Inuit. These "Inuit-inhabited areas" are: the Inuvialuit region (of Northwest Territories), Nunavut, Nunatsiavut (Labrador) and Nunavik (northern Quebec). The study found that life expectancy in these areas in 2001 was over 12 years less than for Canada as a whole, a gap that had widened during the previous decade.
In 1991, life expectancy in the Inuit-inhabited areas was about 68 years, 10 years less than for Canada as a whole. From 1991 to 2001, life expectancy in the Inuit-inhabited areas did not increase, although life expectancy rose by about two years for Canada overall.
Zippy just posted them.
Not true.If you do not feed your body good saturated fats it won't.
"even if you eat foods without cholesterol, the carbs, fats and proteins all break down eventually and release carbon, which your liver turns into cholesterol."

This is a biased low carb site that has to promote drinking lots of coffee to have energy on their recommended low carb diet. If you look at sites promoting high carb diets, they never promote coffee, but virtually ALL low carb sites do. I wonder why?!authoritynutrition.com
I should have said the use for statins, not the need as you don't need them even if you want to lower your cholesterol. All you have to do to lower your cholesterol is lower your intake of animal products.But you said above, "There's an easy way to avoid the need for statins, stop eating so much cholesterol rich foods that are also high in saturated fat."
Well since I think too much cholesterol is unhealthy, so I wouldn't technically call them a scam (they do lower cholesterol as advertised), but definitely not needed unless you're lazy or too spoiled to want to reduce your intake of animal foods.Statins are a scam--period.
I have never been cursed with a overweight problem, but then I have always done very physical work. My younger sister has always struggled with her weight but she sits at a desk. Hmmm...
