Comment on How is it possible that praline pecans have less calories than regular pecans?
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 months agoIt’s the same with the lo-carb fad. No more sugars and starches, here’s a wad of salty fat!

Except the way fat is metabolized is far better for you than what’s been paraded as “healthy”.
I’d sooner eat a high fat diet than even moderate carb or any kind of low fat diet.
Got diabetes in the family, I could lecture on how to manage it with diet (Type II), I’ve read so much research over the decades. Fat is crucial for stabilizing blood glucose.
For an introduction, read “The Zone” by Barry Sears (the 1994 book, nothing else called the Zone, the rest is marketing garbage). It explains (indirectly) why a high fat diet isn’t the Bad Thing we’ve been lead to believe.

Fat is crucial definitely. But even more important is fiber.

So I just want to make clear to everyone who hasn’t read the scientific literature, every empirical claim this ignoramus said is false^
I don’t know why people treat food as a religion, but it’s really fucking annoying.

They didn’t specify saturated fats, but I didn’t look up the book, so it may have.

Forum discussions around food is a biochemists personal hell. No offense, but you’re all dumb as shit.
