im still frying my bacon and salmon,i hate grilled food ....
No one here says you have to grill your food, frying is perfectly acceptable method for cooking your salmon & bacon - we've just been brainwashed into believing otherwise! :banghead: There's nothing wrong with using and eating fats - they supply fuel for your energy and won't raise your glucose levels, unless you eat food that's both high in fats and carbs, but then it's actually the carbs you need to watch!

I think all the poison about Canola oil comes from the US, because it's GM. There is very little wrong with rapeseed oil (which is what Canola is), and it has good Omega 3 and Omega 6 content.
I think if you saw the industrial process and what they need to do to make Canola oil safe for human consumption, then you may feel disinclined to use it. Most supermarket oils are very chemically filtered and altered to give long shelf life etc, and I do not like using industrial oils. There was a video posted on another thread that explains this process.

So I switched to vegetable oil and now i heard thats no good either

So i switched to olive oil until a friend came to my house and was shocked saying olive oil is only for cold salads not to cook fried stuff in and it could cancer ,so.........

Can I just ask why are you using oil to fry bacon? Doesn’t Aussie bacon have it’s own fat (aka bacon nectar) . Salmon I bake in the oven.

I microwave my bacon for a couple of minutes, then brown it off in the pan I used to cook my omelette in. The pan was sprayed with a canola oil spray.

Fish goes on the barbeque wrapped in foil.

Can you tell me what is a good waist to height %? What is ideal?
I believe the recommendation is that waist measurement (at navel level) should be not more than half your height, ie ideally 50% or less.

I don't use any vegetable oils. I use animal fats - butter, lard, goose/duck fat etc.
Me too, I import beef fat from the UK into France, you can't beat it, Belgium fry all there chips in beef fat you can't beat chips done in beef fat, it's the best.
