I was gaining weight very rapidly and read about the idea of restricting carbohydrates as an alternative to going hungry. I had a big appetite, so that was the only thing I would even consider.

I think that if a person wants to remain vegetarian, they're just going to have to go hungry.

Most fats are healthy, but those called trans-fats, such as margarine, fall into that category.

When I meet vegetarians who might have diabetes, pre-diabetes or massive obesity, I tell them they would be better off if they gave up their Vegetarianism.

There are many, many people who have lost 100 pounds and kept it off.

It's so logical and so simple. Fat is the backup fuel system. The role it plays in the body is that when there's no carbohydrate around, fat will become the primary energy fuel. That's pretty well known.
