And cholesterol isn't as bad as we were always told. My cholesterol was high before I started the low carb high fat, and it went down as I was eating that way for a while. We always assumed, or were told, that what we eat influences our cholesterol greatly... But 80% of it is made by the liver, not ingested. And hey, I'm eating eggs daily, bacon twice a day, cheese too... And my cholesterol is down. There are people who only eat meat (the carnivore diet, which is absolute 0 carbs), and do well on that. So you're quite allowed to eat meat. Red, white, whatever. As long as it's not processed half to death with all sorts of carby additives, you're a-o.k.</p></blockquote><p></p>
