FAT

In case anyone is wondering why I believe in a high fat, low carb diet, you might want to check out the documentary Fat Head. You can watch it on Netflix instant. The first half is kinda dumb (though poignant at times), but the second half is a great explanation about the myths behind low fat diets and cholesterol. It gives some really clear explanations about how our bodies utilize fat and how carbs and sugars thwart our attempts at losing weight. Check it out. Till then, have a look at this clip.

You may also want to check out the book, "Good Calories, Bad Calories" which tells the tale of how all calories are not the same and which ones to choose when you're worried about them or tracking them.

I have to say, however, that ever since I've started eating more animal fat, eggs, bacon, and things such as nuts and avacados for my fat intake, my energy has been through the roof. I hardly ever get tired during the day. And who doesn't want to eat lots of bacon?
