An alternative way of eating as opposed to the healthy eating plateIs it ok to eat butter? We have been told that butter is bad. Subsequently, I haven't eaten it in 30 years. Confused!
... when I was a small child very few people could afford a car and the streets had very few on them, now you can have two or three cars per household............just like my own
Just hopscotch.Noblehead, thanks for bringing me down memory lane ... I remember that in my childhood no cars were even parked in my street. And after school, we would always be playing in the street, ball games, hopscotchs (sp?) or whatever. - And whenever - on rare occasions - someone spotted a car coming into the street, he/she would yell out: "Car coming" - and we would immediately remove our paraphernalia from the street and respectfully stand aside until the car had passed.
And we would walk anywhere, even for rather long distances (in my then take of things as a very young person) ... - but it would save us the bus fare.
So having myself been born in the 'baby boom year' (1945), I also recognize a lot of what has been said by you posters above. Food rationing, swapping food coupons etc (sugar coupons in exchange of coffee coupons etc). - It was so fortunate that my paternal grandfather worked in a sugar factory and his wife was a big coffee drinker, so we never lacked for sugar coupons ...
There wasn't a lot of meat around, but we had an apartment in my maternal grandmother's house with rather a large vegetable garden.

@Sid Bonkers I tend to read the studies but make up my own mind after trying the recommendations. My cholesterol has gone down since following LCHF, it went up when I was on a low fat diet. That's all the proof I need. I don't care what the studies say, I look to my blood tests for confirmation. Have you ever tried LCHF yourself? If so, did your cholesterol levels get better or worse?
I also like to read all the evidence before making up my mind and I have still yet to find evidence to support the healthy eating plate.The telegraph today also had a great article saying that they now recognise that saturated fat does not do harm and the carbs do!!!!!!
Yaaaay, whoooo, hoooooo!! They also mentioned that NHS needs to review its advice and eat well plate...
WellI I would take that "study" with a huge pinch of salt and I would like to ask those who think that dietary fat does not increase the fat in your blood (cholesterol) to answer me why is it that we are asked to fast for a lipid profile?
Mine are 0.6 and I more or less live on butter.And there I was thinking cholesterol was produced in the liver, silly me. I think I'll stick to Malcolm Kendrick thanks.
As I understand it you only need to fast for lipids in respect of triglycerides which, surprise surprise, are mostly associated with carbohydrate consumption and processed food loaded with fructose. After 4 months of LCHF my trigs went down from 5.7 to 2.0.

Mine are 0.6 and I more or less live on butter.
Mine are also 0.6 and I live on cheese, butter and mayo, not to mention meat, eggs and bacon.

I'm getting my test results this week, they started over 2 and were last 1.2 ish ..I'm hoping for under 1 and eventually join the 0.6 mob, either that or I'm putting you both on ignore so I don't have to be reminded of my high trigsMine are also 0.6 and I live on cheese, butter and mayo, not to mention meat, eggs and bacon.

Not only good trigs but LDL lowest ever at 3.3 (2-5.3) and HDL at 2.2. Typical LCHF readings or so I am told.I'm getting my test results this week, they started over 2 and were last 1.2 ish ..I'm hoping for under 1 and eventually join the 0.6 mob, either that or I'm putting you both on ignore so I don't have to be reminded of my high trigs
