Dr. Hyman -- Fat: What I got wrong, What I got right

The resting place of threads that were very valid in 2004, but not so much in 2024. Basically this is a giant historical archive.

Dr. Hyman -- Fat: What I got wrong, What I got right

Post by Maria »

My book Eat Fat, Get Thin presents the case for eating dietary fats based on the latest research, my clinical experience and the remarkable results of thousands of people who have followed the approach in Eat Fat, Get Thin. The response to this book has been overwhelmingly supportive. The vast majority of my peers have enthusiastically rallied behind my central message that fat is not the enemy; sugar and starchy or refined carbs and a high-glycemic, processed food diet are the real causes of weight gain, heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.

Even with all the support and success of my program, I knew my findings on dietary fat would be challenged by low-fat advocates. I was recently attacked by a small group of my peers because of my promotion of the beneficial role of fat in the diet, my challenge to the dogma that saturated fats are all bad and that meat is not the enemy we once thought. I expected and am grateful for this response; it provides the opportunity for deeper discussion and clarification. Science is always elevated by honest debate.
