Well, let's see. Three years ago, I started eating a high carb (whole grains, vegetables), low-fat diet (which included a bowl of oatmeal every morning) and exercising about three times a week. I lost 25 pounds and my cholesterol dropped from 197 to 159. When I began eating more protein (which included more fat) and less carbs, I gained almost 40 pounds and my cholesterol is above 200 and my triglycerides off the charts!

We could spend hours doing research on nutrition and find studies to support just about any view regarding these issues.

But, I know what worked for me. And I regret being swayed by this type of low carb/highprotein & fat diet.
