A guide for eating a less crappy diet (Read 572 times)

That was fantastic! My mother would love that (of course, she'd also tell me "duh"). She's an RD.

ITA...with the exception of: Raises cholesterol: Saturated fats, cholesterol, transfats. I have not found this to be the case...at all--except for the transfats. At least not for me. I know the jury is still out on this, though. I ate low-carb/high-fat for several years and my blood-work all improved. Only thing that made it even better was the addition of a lot of running. I am not convinced that *natural* fats in any form are bad (assuming one is not just sitting eating sticks of butter). I eat a LOT of cheese, which is high in saturated fats. Always have. For a lot of people high glycemic carbs to excess are the real danger. k
