Comment on Everything I knew about food was wrong

Comments

Yep, there are a few errors in there but I like the general idea. In fact I'm just starting to try the method Steve Gibson of security now described. Basically, cut down sugars and grains (most processed food), and add more healthy fats. For some reason people that go this route are highly attracted to double bacon butter cheeseburgers, etc... bad idea.

Olive, canola, avocados, and nuts are sources of fats that are much better on the heart. Tons of veggies, fruits, and lean meats will serve you well. This is what I've done in the past and have been very healthy, now focusing on bringing the sugars down and will see the results.

Another thing he mentions I'd be wary of is the coconut oil. It's full of saturated fat, and though proponets are now pointing to properties that mitigate its effects, i'd be cautious. I was not able to find much evidence of that or many studies at all on the subject. In absence of better info I'd avoid foods rich in saturated fat.
