Today’s Solutions: July 18, 2025

Diets that are high in grains drive weight gain and accelerate Alzheimer’s and dementia. Study after study confirms this. The most recent split a group of participants into two categories—one was assigned to eat a low-carb diet, the other was told to eat a low-fat diet. The results were counter intuitive—those that ate more fat and fewer carbs lost on average 8 lbs. of weight, and substantially more body fat. So the next time you have to choose fat or carbs, go with the steak.
