Well, in one month, I drastically cut all carbs, added fat - mostly from grass fed dairy, butter, olive oil and nuts, and added protein (mostly animal protein) to my diet.

Huge change in my lipid profile. Cardiologist could not believe the huge change in so short a time. I’m not concerned at all about the cholesterol per se, but the ratio of HDL and Triglycerides is the best indicator-and those are the two best improvements.

For the first time in 20 years my HDL was not subpar. Turns out that fat is needed to get HDL, so all the low fat advice misses the mark. Healthy fats are needed and that includes things like real butter from grass fed cows, because vitamin K2 is found only in animal fats that have not been loaded up with grains.

Much of the clogged arteries are due to calcium not being regulated into the bones - K2 is needed for that. The sugar was wearing out my pancreas and I was developing insulin resistance and felt like I was starving to death all the time.

When I keep carb intake low with each meal, I feel better, and I don’t feel like I’m starving between meals. Still, I do eat the occasional doughnut or piece of pie. Then I feel lousy and hungry for several days.

I think once anyone reaches the age of 70, they should probably just eat whatever they want - most doctors don’t even know what we should be eating anyway. LOL
