Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I am still stuck about this too. The candida is similar to the Atkins diet, and Dr. Atkins had high blood pressure, congestive heart failure and a heart attack!! I am very worried about all of this too. Especially the sources of meat we are eating. Not everyone can afford to buy grass fed beef from an organic farmer. The beef in the supermarkets are filled with steroids and antibiotics, not to mention the food they are fed, which does affect us as well. samadamfamily <samadamfamily@...> wrote: i've changed my families diet to getting 80% of our calories from fat and the rest protein and low carb veggies but i'm wondering if this is a healthy way to live? i've read sally fallons books on fat and have read some articles on Bee's site and i guess its just hard for me to swallow after years of a SAD diet. is it healthy to raise my young children on a high fat, high protein, low carb diet? --------------------------------- You rock.

Your fats might be too high since your ratios even on the high fat end should work out to about 66% fat; 19% protein and 15% carbs. The ratios I recommend are based upon Dr. Jan Kwasniewski's Optimal Diet which he has been using to cure heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, asthma, etc. for over 30 years in Poland: http://homodiet.netfirms.com/ Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Bee- i've been doing the 1:2.5-3.5:0.8 ratio and with my height i'm pretty close to that everyday when i plugged what i've eaten into the fitday calculator it said i was at 80% fat 14% protein and 6% carbs but my numbers have been around 92:250:60 i'm actually suppose to get around 73g protein but i've upped it because i'm nursing and need extra right now. i thought i was doing the right ratio's so why would fitday say i'm at 80% fat? thanks sam > > ==>Hi Sam.

This is with 193 fat grams, 41 carbs and 78 protein. Actually, a pretty great day for me ratio-wise. Should we strive more for the percentage? or the grams?

Especially the sources of meat we are eating. Not everyone can afford to buy grass fed beef from an organic farmer. The beef in the supermarkets are filled with steroids and antibiotics, not to mention the food they are fed, which does affect us as well. ==>It is false that Dr. Atkins had high blood pressure, congestive heart failure and a heart attack after he developed his diet. The fact IS that Dr. Kwasniewski, in Poland, has been using his Optimal Diet to cure heart disease and the ratios of protein to fat to carbs are the same as I recommend: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foods38.php Also see this article " What Causes Heart Disease? " at: http://www.westonaprice.org/moderndiseases/hd.html It is better to obtain the nutrients in beef and other meats than to avoid them because of possible steroids and antibiotics, etc. The high good fats are great for getting rid of toxins. In fact " good " fats are the very best antioxidants in the world. Many people's grocery bills have lowered on this diet because they are not buying so many chemicals and carbs. They have less grocery bags of stuff for sure! I find I eat less quantities of foods because they are nutrient-dense and also because of the high fats.

I think they base their calculations on calories. So I'm sure you are okay. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I wrote this morning I do not calculate percentages the same way fitday.com does, so that's where the difference lies. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that brings up another question for me about the ratios: I've calculated the range of ratio I'm allowed per food type. If I am low in the range on fats, say, do I need to stay low on the range of proteins and carbs OR am I okay to stay anywhere within the range (10% less to 10% more) on any of the food types (carbs, proteins, fats)? If that doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll try to clarify. ~Cathe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the assumption that eating protein and low carbs without keeping the fats high would affect this balance. Am I off here?
