For decades we have been told to avoid fat and divulge in a life of “healthy grains,” but that as it turns out is completely wrong. 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.
High-fat, low carbs is best for weight loss and Alzheimer’s prevention
