[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 324223, member: 33342"] Dude, 2 million years of evolution trained your body to expect a hunter-gatherer's diet, rich in fatty meat, free of refined carbohydrates. "Balanced" is just a dumb arbitrary definition. It's not based on any science. Unless you are an athlete, your body can't process more than about 150g of carbohydrate a day (without resorting to disposal mechanisms such as turning excess carbohydrate to saturated fat). Nobody ever thought that eating fat "furred up your arteries". Some short term trials associated fat intake with raised cholesterol, but those results have now been superceded with longer term studies that show that fat consumption does not influence cholesterol or CV mortality. I get about 80% of my calories from fat (meat, eggs and dairy) and I have excellent BG readings, and cholesterol scores which are, if anything, too low. [/QUOTE]
