Saturated fats are the least of our problems. If doctors would finally accept low-carbs diets, but hold the butter and cream it would be a tremendous victory. It will take more time and more studies for the medical community to loose their fear of saturated fat but the low-carb pill is hard enough for them to swallow, we shouldn't expect too much too soon.

I think saturated fat has got such a bad rap over the last couple of decades that it is more or less a dirty word these days and people can’t bring themselves to say you should eat it or at least not be concerned about eating it. I always feel uncomfortable saying I eat ‘saturated’ fat and am more likely to admit to eating only ‘natural’ fats when discussing my WOE. I think we need to come up with a new name for it……..something that doesn’t conjure up images of fat soaked or fat drenched food which is probably how people subconsciously imagine it. How about ‘slightly moist’ fat??

LOL! Right on!

I have said it before: Ketosis is our natural state and the advent of agriculture and an increased intake of carbohydrates pushed us out of our natural, healthy state. All these doctors, scientists, nutritionists, etc, are only looking at the common, unatural state today.

I went on a three-days camping/hiking trip this weekend with a Sierra Club group where I was the only low-carber. Most people were pretty open but sceptical, but there was one woman who actaully got angry with me that I would even consider eating saturated fat. It was really an eye-opener since most of the people I work with are currently low-carbing.
