Letter: Carbohydrates make us fat

By
Published:

With all the low-fat and non-fat items on our grocery store shelves, American waistlines must be slim and trim. But they are not. Why? Because fat consumption does not make us fat. Only carbohydrates make us fat.

I urge the readers to search online and go to Youtube.com and search for the terms: “Lard will make you lean” and “Eat more fat” and “Ketogenic diet.” In the past four years, I have lost more than 60 pounds on a very high fat, especially saturated fat, and very low carbohydrates diet. I don’t go hungry.

I’d like to add that all of the for-profit commercial weight loss programs would have filed for bankruptcy decades ago if their programs actually worked to cause their clients or customers to lose weight and keep it off. All commercial weight-loss programs have the same business model. Their customers go on their program and temporarily lose weight. The key word is temporarily. Then they go off the program and gain it all back and then some. Then they repeat the process over and over.
