Fat doesn't make you fat

So I didn't start a diet from it. But it does address the alleged toxicity of fat and salt. The bottom line: bacon will not kill you. So I decided to eat bacon and eggs for breakfast any time I damned well feel like it. I live alone, I can do things like that. Coincidentally, I weighed myself for the first time in years that day, on a good balance beam scale. 203lb. Damn. I'm not fat, but that isn't good. When it comes to bacon, "any time I damned well feel like it" comes around rather often. I cut NOTHING from my diet. All I did was add bacon and eggs, about 4 times per week. No toast or waffles or anything, just B&E. Maybe 5 times per week. Or 6. So, 2 weeks later, I happened to weigh myself again. 197. Six pounds in two weeks. By adding fat. --------------------------------------- I think it's perfectly clear we're in the wrong band. (Tori Amos)

And the dozens of clinical studies with the same outcome. And the hundreds of studies trying to refute this outcome that in fact showed it was true. All anecdotes. -- Drew
