Chicken was my favorite food of all....ate it every day...literally.
And it wasn't any of that stuff that made me fat...it was my inability to control how much I ate...I was a pig...still am...
Now I just pig on good food..that was another thing about the china study they found...
Compared to the western diets...the people on the rural chineese diet ate on avg 30% more calories....but weighed 30% less...
Here's a Q&A with the guy who wrote the book "prevent and reverse heart disease"....
http://www.heartattackproof.com/huffpost.htm
His book is very compelling...its more geared towards people with severe heart disease...but he talks about how everyone who eats the western diet has atleast some heart disease (artery blockages)....
The thing that really got me is that 80% of fatal heart attacks happen to people with no signs of prior heart problems....because its the people with only partial blockages and then a piece breaks off while working out or something when your heart rate gets going...it lodges in your heart...boom dead....
He did a study with I think 23 people starting in the mid 80's who had extreme heart disease.....literally referred to as the walking dead...
He put them on the most extreme diet with no meat...no dairy...no oils...and no nuts...or even avacados or coconuts...
What he found is that after 3 weeks the blockages were reduced to half there size in nearly half his patients..or something like that...I loaned the book to a friend...so....
Anyway...25 years later all of those people but one are still alive with no signs of heart disease...after being told they had no realistic chance of living a normal life again...the one who died of a heart attack admittedly couldn't stick to the diet...
This guy went from being sick of patching people up as a cardiologist to teaching people how to fix themselves....I admire the guy...
