Butter in your coffee?

My daughter worked at Starbucks for a while. I always had bags of free beans around. I miss that job.

 

Number one contributor to HD, my ass. Eat all the sat and unsat fats that fit into a reasonable diet and skip the carbs.

 

Negative.

The number one cause of heart disease is atherosclerosis. Which is primarily caused by saturated fats and cholesterol in the blood, high blood pressure, smoking and also not necessarily carb intake but moreso how your body handles those carbs.....i.e. if you are insulin resistant and/or diabetic to start with and your body is not processing said carbs properly....not simply the act of eating carbs.

And the keto diet you are suggesting is not sustainable for the long term. Short term sure I've seen it work great for quite a few people who were in bad shape and needed to dump fat in a hurry. And the drop in cholesterol is generally the result of weight loss that's taking place, but again once that has occurred its not a sustainable diet for the rest of your life. I've never seen a person of reasonably healthy bodyweight but poor blood lipids employ a ketogenic diet to drop their heart disease risk.

Also, whether or not you want to believe anything that I said up there, this isn't exactly a shining review for a low-carb/high fat and protein diet

and the leading cause of lead poisoning is preachy mother f@ckers telling me what I should be doing. Blam! Blam Blam! "and one for your suggestion that I drink wheatgrass!" Blam!

 

I know, right?

 

The diet experts always seem to miss the fact there are populations on Earth who exist almost totally on carbs. And other populations who live almost totally on protein. None of which is substantially healthier or short lived vs the others.

 

Mmm, carbs WITH protein, I think that's what I'll have for lunch. Spicy chicken alfredo with pasta. Git in ma' belly!

 

Haha! I had no idea this would be a contentious topic lol.

 

Just in time for when #Pumpkinspicederrrythang starts tapering off I'd imagine.
