Step 1: Forget Low-Fat Diets
Forget Low Fat!Low fat everything has been the craze now for decades and look around. What has that wonderful bit of advice done for the bodies you see? We're fatter, sicker, and more addicted to sugar and carbs than any other time in history. And, we're passing these habits to our kids.
Fats are not to be feared – they're to be embraced. They do not make you fat; rather, they help your body regenerate your power hormones. Testosterone, the 'strength' hormone, for example, is the direct result of cholesterol and dietary fat intake. That's right: "Cholesterol" isn't a dirty word! Your body needs dietary fat and cholesterol in order to produce ANY AND ALL vital hormones.
People on low fat diets look drawn, gaunt, and weak. They are often sick, sometimes to the point of literally breaking down. And, they can never just enjoy eating out. Every meal and every gram must be accounted for. Do you really think this will make you younger? Of course not... it will worry you to death if it doesn't kill you first!

It does feel like diets that include fat, animal products, grass fed beef, pork, etc are becoming more popular.
I am reading stuff and meeting people all the time promoting these foods. If it gets repeated enough it becomes a fact.

Big Food’s Last Ditch Efforts
Their judgment day is right around the corner.

I understand you being upset by such articles like the one in TIME magazine, but your statement sounds almost Biblical. I noticed you made a similar statement in a seminar when talking about Paleo and Low Carb diets. Isn't that a little overly dramatic? Don't you think you should reserve that type of statement for the Old Testament prophets or John the Baptist?
