The information provided here is outdated and follows the failed low carbohydrate dieting that Dr Atkins made popular back in the 1980. Sure you may lose a few pounds here and there, especially at the beginning of a diet (since a low-carb diet depletes our glycogen stores (5-8 lbs)  from our liver and muscles) but as soon as you get of the diet the weight comes back with a vengeance.

Sorry following low carbohydrate diets such as Atkins, South Beach, "Eat fat lose fat" just doesn't work in the long run. High carb and low fat based on whole foods is the best way to go, never need to count calories and never need to go hungry again.

We also find pus in milk, really need that?
Eat mainly fruits and some veggies. 10% fat is just enough to not feel sluggish.

I increased my fat intake for 8 months (paleo diet) at the beginning I lost weight but then I just started gaining weight, felt deprived, tired and sluggish. Now I'm a high carb low fat vegan, I can eat unlimited calories and I feel the best ever, my energy shot through the roof, I have better skin, my hair and nails are stronger and shiny, I'm at a healthy weight, I'm never hungry and I have mental clarity. Best decision ever.
