Greetings! Dr. Quigley sent me an article from consultant360.com, published in November, 2014, that is about carbs vs. saturated fats. A recent study concluded that “an uptake in consumption of saturated fat does not increase saturated fat levels in the blood, but consuming more carbohydrates is related to higher levels of fatty acids associated with adverse health outcomes”. It also stated, “while on the high-fat low-carb diets, researchers found that levels of palmitoleic acid-a biomarker of obesity, insulin resistance, and heart disease-decreased”.
What does this all mean? Well, when I first started this plan a year ago, I was unsure how eating more fat and less carbs could help me lose weight. Not only have I lost about 30 pounds, my blood pressure has decreased and so has my cholesterol! And, I find that I get less colds – meaning (I think) my immune system is higher. Overall, I feel so much healthier than I was a year ago (and look better too). Hooray!
So, based on my personal results and taking into account the conclusion of this study, eating higher fats and lower carbs is the RIGHT THING TO DO! If you would like to read the article, please go to www.consultant360.com, put carbs vs. saturated fats in the search tab, and it will bring up this and a few other related articles you may want to browse. You may also consult a professional such as Wellness Clinics of America with expertise in weight loss or services that provide fat loss procedures like bariatric surgery, laser lipo or water jet assisted liposuction, etc. Happy reading and high fat/low carb eating! Until next time!
