Re: I have a friend who is kind of on the diet....

Hi Taryn -

I've just been reading Bee's " Foods that Damage, Foods That Heal " article and

she talks about good fats in there.

She says:

>>Nature-made fats and oils are equally important to protein in the diet and

they are vital to your health, including butter, coconut oil, fish oil, lard,

palm oil, poultry fat, tallow, and other natural fats as well as extra virgin

olive oil. These fats and oils not only increase the body's ability to absorb

nutrients from foods but also provide the most efficient source of energy for

the body compared to carbohydrates.

>>...nature-made saturated fats go directly into the bloodstream, providing an

efficient source of energy and nutrients. They are found in every cell in the

body, providing the building blocks for cell membranes and a variety of hormones

and hormone-like substances.

This talks about the goodness of good fats in the diet but doesn't talk about

what causes weight gain, which is carbohydrates. Read here:

" Carbohydrates cause obesity, not fat. "

> I told a friend about this diet, and she slowly started to get into it by

eliminating most things you said to except for some brown rice or sweet potatoe

and quinoa. She also still eats sprouted seeds and nuts and sometimes breads

that are sprouted. She started eating quite a bit of butter because she was

feeling hungry all the time and now cooks with coconut oil (she doesnt take it

by the spoonful though). She told me shes been having funny " heart pains " and

she can feel her heart beating quite hard. I'm wondering is it okay to eat alot

of butter/fats if your carb intake is higher like hers? Is it okay to eat lots

of butter no matter what your diet is like? I worry too because I eat ALOT of

butter and am not fully on the diet right now and I just wonder if butter is bad

for you if you dont have the right ratios? Sorry if this seems like a silly

question... I'm just worried.
