A Call for a Low-Carb Diet That Embraces Fat
People who avoid carbohydrates and eat more fat, even saturated fat, lose more body fat and have fewer cardiovascular risks than people who follow the low-fat diet that health authorities have favored for decades, a major new study shows.
But more recent clinical studies in which individuals and their diets were assessed over time have produced a more complex picture. Some have provided strong evidence that people can sharply reduce their heart disease risk by eating fewer carbohydrates and more dietary fat, with the exception of trans fats. The new findings suggest that this strategy more effectively reduces body fat and also lowers overall weight.
“To my knowledge, this is one of the first long-term trials that’s given these diets without calorie restrictions,” said Dariush Mozaffarian, the dean of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, who was not involved in the new study. “It shows that in a free-living setting, cutting your carbs helps you lose weight without focusing on calories. And that’s really important because someone can change what they eat more easily than trying to cut down on their calories.”
DYI Comments: I can definitely attest to the fact that a low carb, high fat, moderate protein diet WORKS. I've been on this journey now for about 14 months dropped 40 pounds and I no longer require blood pressure medication. Energy is off the scale plus at age 60 I have a 4 pack abs (it appears that a 6 pack is on its way) to say the least I'm astonished. WHY? I'm on a very easy diet to follow and most importantly I never go hungry. I ate myself thin. Of course there is no longer any pastas along with pizza and of course all of the sugar laden desserts are no more. A small price to pay as ALL of my health markers improved so much so that my cost of insurance dropped to only $35 per month (Corp. policy with Kaiser).
No medication costs and much lower premiums for insurance.
Thought I pass this on.....

Jobs & Low Cost Real Estate
Here is list of cities that have job growth along with modest real estate costs. Take your pick of different climate and cultural regions that may suit your fancy or curiosity. Job growth on average for all of the major U.S. cities is 1.9% as compared to the select cities at 2.8%. Just as Willie Sutton reasoned as to why he robbed banks "that is where the money is" OR "these are the cities where the jobs are".
