  1. Re:Cholesterol on Interviews: The Hampton Creek Team Answers Your Questions · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I realize everyone's body is different but I have done quite a few experiments trying to figure out what to eat. For 2 months I ate 3-4 eggs a day for breakfast. I really like eggs but by the end I was getting tired. I have always had high LDL (150-170 range). Eating the eggs had zero effect over 2 months. What had worked for me is what you are suggesting. I try to get the majority of my calories from good quality natural fats. The Plant based ones are coconut oil, olive oil, and palm oil. These are actual oils you can get out of plants just by grinding and squeezing. I also get some from nuts and avocados. I avoid the ones you talk about that require chemicals to extract them from the plant before being mostly removed'. The animal fats are mostly heavy cream, butter, and to a less degree from meats. As a 40 year old man I went from 215 to 175 and have kept this weight off for over 2 years.

    As for my cardiovascular health indicators everything improved with this way of eating with the exception of LDL which is still where it was. But HDL has increased and Triglycerides have gone way down as well as blood glucose levels. Plus I feel as good as I did when I was 20 where I felt like crap through most of my late 20's and 30's.

    Again this is a one person experiment and I don't know if I'll die from a heart attack when I'm 60 but I'll take how I feel over contradictory theories proposed by the pharmaceutical industry.

    Right on the money with #2. During the work week when I'm not moving much I have 2-3 coffees with cream from 5am to 5pm with no discomfort. At 5pm I eat a big meal and I'm good until the next day.

  5. Re:Control the carbs and you control blood lipids on Doubling Saturated Fat In Diet Does Not Increase It In Blood · · Score: 1

    Same results here as I'm drinking a coffee with heavy cream. I now get about 50% of calories from fat (mostly saturated).

    Everything improved with the exception of LDL which is still high 160. HDL went from 40's to 60's. Triglycerides in the 70-80's, glucose in the 60's and I'm down from 210 lb to 170 lb.

  19. Diet causes change in those microbes on Study: Body Weight Heavily Influenced By Heritable Gut Microbes · · Score: 5, Informative

    The microbs thrive in different environments. I went from a standard american diet to something more high fat low simple carbs diet with lots of fermented foods. Not only did I lose a bunch of weight but most digestive, allergy, and skin problems went away as well. I think there was something about the microbial environment that a high sugar diet caused that was giving me trouble.

    You refute your own argument. If you don't want to go to jail you need to hire a team of lawyers that are experts in FDA regulations to determine if what you want to create is exempt and which regulations you do need to comply with. Then you need an auditing team to make sure that you are properly complying with the regulations you do need to meet.

    That is the problem with these types of regulations. You need an expert to even know if you need to follow them.
