Great article, and isn’t true that omega-3 fats also help the body regulate metabolism? (i.e. eating fat encourages the body to burn fat for energy.) interesting stuff.

Thanks for the advice Mark, your article, along with the comments of others’ diets, have guided me on what I should be eating…I was starting to think my diet was going to be boring now that I’m back at the gym after a 1 year hiatus (and I gained a belly during my sabbatical). Your site is very informative, and I’ve passed it on to a few friends who will benefit from your articles.

Keep up the great work!

Yes Sue, women are the worst for fatphobia. It’s been ingrained into their psyche and is therefore hard to remove. I have confidence that we’ll get rid of it one day though

Thanks! Not sure how I missed that article… I feel much better now. Once the media gets hold of something, it seems they run with it, regardless whether it’s true or not

The cartoon is a classic! Great article. I’d get my girlfriend to read it if I thought she’d be open to it. I keep telling her that dietary fat is not the problem.

Just curious, how does the heart disease risk change on a low fat vs high fat. I always used to be very low fat, and as a result, very skinny. Now I cut way back on the carbohydrates and fill my tummy with meat, vegetables and fruit and some complex carbohydrates - I make sure to load up my caloric intake, and fat is one way.

My question is, by eating more fat, meat in particular, is my risk of heart disease increasing? Are carb-lovers that eat low fat going to be 95 years old while we all die at 50 (albeit lookin’ good?) from clogged arteries?
