FW:The Schwarzbein Principle:
I can tell you from experience fat works for me too.
We have a Jersey and the quantity of raw cream I now eat is a lot.
I find myself improved as the result

From her work with insulin-resistant patients with Type II diabetes, Dr.
Schwarzbein concludes that low-fat diets cause heart attacks, eating fat makes
you lose body fat, and it’s important to eat high-cholesterol foods every day.
Picture cardiologists and dieticians tearing their hair out and overweight
people cheering as they dive into Eggs Benedict with sausage. According to
Schwarzbein, the high-carbohydrate, low-fat, moderate-protein diet that most
dieticians and disease-prevention organizations recommend is the culprit that
turns people into diabetics, makes them age faster and get degenerative
diseases, and keeps them fat and unhealthy. She supports her theory with case
studies of people who were sick and miserable on high-carbo, low-fat diets and
who sprang to life when they "balanced" their diets with more fat and protein.
Schwarzbein recommends avoiding "man-made carbohydrates"–processed carbs–in
favor of those you could "pick, gather or milk." She instructs
patients to eat "as much good fat as their body needs": eggs, avocados,
flaxseed oil, butter, mayonnaise, and olive oil. Sorry, but fried foods and
hydrogenated fats are "bad fats," or "damaged fats," as Schwarzbein calls them.
You can eat as many eggs a day as you want on this plan, plus meat (even
sausage–as long as it’s nitrate-free–and pâté), saturated fat, cream, and
nonstarchy vegetables. The book includes a four-week meal plan and about 15
recipes.
