Here is a great article from Dr. Mercola that corrects the popular myth that natural fats are unhealthy. Some people should now enjoy their food a bit more since they don't have to feel guilty! Its breakthroughs like this that motivates me to always question the "settled science".

Great article Don! I LOVE fat. lol - animal fat - the 'dun dun dunnnn' bad kind. Got my cholesterol checked one week when I was drinking my fat broth everyday. Shocker - the dr said it was the best cholesterol she had seen a long time. Truthfully I was surprised.

I always question settled science!... well not ALWAYS turn

I realize that I still have to be concerned about total calories- but I'm going to slather on the butter again! I used to eat ALL of the fat that came with my animal flesh. Hmmmm I'm going to enjoy it again!

Opugirl- I realize that you consider your low weight to be a health problem, and that you are trying to gain weight. From my perspective I consider that to be an interesting problem to have!

needhelp- Enjoy with gusto!!!

Just make sure it's from organic, grass fed animals, otherwise it could do some harm. Don't forget coconut oil, palm oil (properly extracted to preserve the good in them) and avocados. :)

Yes, they're finally realizing it's the white carbs that are the real killers - white flour, white rice, sugar, etc.
And the fake fats - margarine, shortening, yuck.
I've always believe butter was healthier, and have always eaten it.

Yes, make sure your animal fat is organic - that's where the pesticides/herbicides gather.

Opugirl - I lost 14 lbs and it bothered me, too. If I had been well and exercising and lost about 10, I would have been happy, but I lost muscle when I lost the weight and because i was unwell, it was just another sign that something was wrong with me.
Good news for me - I'm up 2 lbs. now. (small victories!)

Thanks for the advice ladies. My wife is very strict about only purchasing hormone free organic beef and chicken. I never eat the fat if I am eating animal flesh away from home. Yes, toxins and heavy metals may be found in the fat.
