Contradicting the McDougall diet

CrossFit Winston-Salem — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:20:49 +0000

…………..when I was McDougalling (high-carb, low fat-vegan diet, *yuck*). I was constantly:

1. tired
2. sick
3. irritable
4. fat
5. tired
6. did I mention tired?

I’ve always been heavy despite the low-fat diets. Six months ago my wife was checking out diets, b/c McDougall wasn’t doing her any good recovering from pregnancy, and she stumbled on Weston A. Price. Well, I haven’t felt so good since I was a kid! I’m kinda pissed that I missed out on butter and meat etc for 9 years! Not to mention I developed lactose intolerance in 1996 and hadn’t had milk until now, it has to be grass-fed and non-pasteurized/non-homogenized otherwise I get sick, but hey, it’s great!

I’ve always been heavy despite the low-fat diets.

Being fat is not, in and of itself, bad for your health. The behaviors that can make you fat – eating excess sugar and starch, not getting any exercise - can also ruin your health, and that’s why being fat is associated with bad health. But it’s entirely possible to be fat and healthy. It’s also possible to be thin while developing Type II diabetes and heart disease.

“Most important nutrients are fat-soluble, so without fat in a meal, they’ll just pass through your body.” ……………in other words, don’t go for the fat free dressing. You need fat to absorb all those good nutrients from the veggies!

Studies published this year concluded there’s no association whatsoever between saturated fat intake and heart disease. A study published in the European Heart Journal:

The commonly-held belief that the best diet for the prevention of coronary heart disease is a low saturated fat, low cholesterol diet is not supported by the available evidence from clinical trials.

More Paleo info: (this guy’s introduction is loaded, so I posted it below)

I had not tried a grain-free diet. I had cut down on grains considerably from my earlier vegetarian days, and at the time I read Neanderthin, I used grains, mostly oatmeal and some rice, in relatively small amounts, along the lines Barry Sears laid out in The Zone. None of the other books I mentioned gave me any reason to consider grains inappropriate food for humans, but as soon as I read that first page of Neanderthin, I realized that grains and beans were the first staple foods consumed by humans that required processing to make them edible — the first processed foods.

I hold a master’s degree in philosophy from the University of Toledo, Ohio, a diploma in Comprehensive Nutrition from the American Academy of Nutrition, Corona Del Mar, California, certification by the International Association of Resistance Trainers, and a Master’s Degeree in Oriental Medicine. I head the nutrition department at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts in Tempe, AZ, and serve as an adjunct faculty member in the Nutrition Department of Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. I have qualified for MENSA membership.
