I'm sorry if this seems harsh, but if the writer(s) are correct and that we have all been duped over diet recommendations then this message needs to be made as coherently and forcibly as possible.

The second wonderful message is the importance of a CAC (Coronary Calcium CT) to determine risk for cardiovascular event along with scoring the usual risk factors. Obesity and overweight are truly the resultant symptoms of chronic metabolic disease, ultimately caused by the many inflammatory foods in our diet. Blaming behavior (that we eat too much and exercise too little) for why we get fat is a short-sighted explanation, especially when considering our present day understanding of metabolism.” Frustrated with spiraling healthcare costs related to the treatment of conditions including overweight, obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and heart disease, Dr. Gerber focuses on prevention and treatment programs using low-carb high fat (LCHF), Ancestral, Paleo, and Primal diets to treat and prevent these chronic conditions. He rigorously maintains a database of patients, looking at weight loss and improved cardio-metabolic markers, demonstrating the benefits of these types of diets. I have been on LCHF since reading Gary Taubes book, Why We Get Fat: And What To Do About It in Jan 2012.Dr. Jeffry N. Gerber, MD, FAAFP is a board certified family physician and owner of South Suburban Family Medicine in Littleton, Colorado, where he is known as “Denver’s Diet Doctor”. He has been providing personalized healthcare to the local community since 1993 and continues that tradition with an emphasis on longevity, wellness and prevention. I have made this recipe many times. It is easy and oh-so delicious. You have a choice of slow cooking or pressure cooking, and I’ve provided

The general rule that has been followed for decades has been to allow the whole society to benefit from the good things ionizing radiation provides society by minimizing average excess radiation exposure to the general public. Higher radiation exposure is permitted for radiation workers, at the risk they will have a higher probability of getting cancer, and extra steps were to be taken to lower exposure to everyone else. That last part is violated by having higher numbers of people exposed to radiation that they need not be exposed to. Eat Rich Live Long suggests several strategies to maintain weight loss or break through the plateau. I stumbled onto a LCHF (low-carb, high-fat) way of life 4 months, ago through my son. I am 69 years old and have been following the Standard American Diet my whole life. I was just as outraged as Ivor Cummins and Dr. Jeffry Gerber to learn that I have lied to all this time, and many formal institutions in Canada and the States still perpetuate the idea that the correct way is to eat a high-carb, low-fat diet.

How much fat should we eat -- and which kinds of fats are best? Which fats can contribute to diabetes, heart disease, and early mortality? Does a high-protein diet increase muscle mass and lead to vigorous health -- or can it promote aging, cancer, and early mortality? Which vitamins and minerals should we be taking, if any? How do we change our metabolism so that our bodies burn fat instead of all the sugars we consume? Does intermittent fasting really work? Eat Rich, Live Long lays out the truth based on the latest scientific research. Thus if someone has 5% cardiovascular risk and a positive CAC (1 or>), they need to lower their ApoB <80 or LDLp < 1,000. I decreased my exercise, and eat ad libitum and did not gain weight even while I traveled around the world. I probably didn’t lose weight because I ate a lot of protein.The authors explain this phenomenon on p 309. Very high amounts of protein are okay if you are trying build muscle with a weight lifting program. This is an excellent text. A great guide for people interested in LCHF(Low Carbohydrate High Fat) or Atkins type diet.
