Eat liberally of combinations of fat and protein in the form of poultry, fish, shellfish, eggs and red meat, as well as of pure, natural fat in the form of butter, mayonnaise, olive oil, safflower, sunflower and other vegetable oils.
Rationale:
1. Surprisingly, most of the several studies done in the past “theorize” that eating fatty foods i.e. pork, chicken skin, usage of lard, butter and the like causes the vascular diseases. But the true demure CULPRIT reveals its own identity – THE SIMPLE CARBOHYDRATES not the FATTY FOODS.
2. In my experience of trying several diets, only ATKINS diet made me successful – I could now confidently say that. At first I was very reluctant of following eating liberally of fats and protein but abstaining from carbs – I thought this idea too is some kind of a joke because even in our profession we were taught that eating fatty foods can contribute to cardiovascular disease i.e. high blood pressure and etc. So I tried it my self, I ate HUMBA (a pork belly or fatty parts cooked on its own oil with soy sauce) one week straight but not eating either rice, bread, sweet products and pastas –recording my BP everyday. And the result: my bp had gone down from 130 to 120. Intriguing, right?
3. According to Dr. Atkins, if an adipose tissue made from glucose was metabolized, it turns into bad cholesterol while the FATTY one turns into HDL or good cholesterol. For further explanation read Atkins Diet Revolution.
