Basically, I've been eating what our ancestors ate: lots of fat, butter, cheese, fish, red meat (I eat mostly bison), ton of eggs, dark chocolate, heavy whipping cream protein shakes, and a little bit of yam and veggies here and there.
I eat virtually no sugar (though I do have to have it in my tea, but it's not much) and drink lots of tea. My carb intake is extremely small.
results? Best shape of my life, blood tests are spectacular, no longer take Omega3 fish oil.
Back in the early 1900s, a French explorer met with the Eskimos in the Yukon and he subsisted on nothing but fish and red meat. There were no other forms of foods. No veggies grew up there. The result after 2 years? Extremely healthy and became a major study that is now known pretty much as the Atkins or even parts of the South Beach Diet.
I do exercise, but we're not seeing evidence exercise helps with weight loss. The only real reason that exercising seems to help with weight loss is because people generally eat healthier. Exercise is important for a number of reasons, but weight management and controlling disease risk are not on the list, at least according to the best available evidence.
Just so you know that race of people (eskimos) do have a larger liver than other races. Its part of what helps them deal with that type of diet.
I agree that sugar is worse than fat unless its fake fat. The body still has limits. Watch your numbers.
I rotate my diet and don't really eat much sweets. Thin and healthy but we shall see how it is when I hit the age where my family starts to have issues. (over 50) Already in just having a better diet in my 20s than most of my family I look younger and am healthier than people my age in the family. The only one that looks as healthy is a cousin who never really drank, never smoked, was always active, never got fat and has a generally good basic diet.
According to fatsecret.com, today i've eaten almost 2000 calories for just breakfast and lunch.
4% carbs, 65% fat and 31% protein.
Still have to add in dinner.

Did you weigh your portions? How were they measured?
What did you eat exactly?
Here's a screen shot.
Where it says medium chicken twice. One of those is a thigh, the other a drumstick http://s19.postimage.org/h1k7bjky9/S...1_52_47_PM.png
I'm 38, 152lbs, 5'8"
I run 4 miles a couple times a week if I can and try to go mountain biking at least once a week when i can.
Occasional weight lifting too.
I'll also do road cycling on the weekend sometimes but only if time allows for 30+ miles.
I don't do too much sugar anyways...
But love my red meat, lots o' butter & fat yes bacon... do do an occasional carb.
Nothing wrong with that.
I do eat veggies too... but could never ever be total vegan.
Why???
If you can't ask a street stall vendor to stop using pig lard or pork fat to flavor their street dishes (in other countries) why should America think they should tell people how & what to eat???
16 oz drinks??? Who won't be suing the idiot dictator when that family member got kidney failure or dehydrate just because they are only allowed to buy 16oz drink on a 110 degree weather????
Lawsuit awaiting to happen... and I hope the soda companies will back that case.
People really should use some brain juice and think...
What is good for one may not be applicable to another... situations and even people differ.
Humm. Did they smoke? Red meat eaters tend to smoke, and also often ate other bad foods. Red meat eaters don't really care about their health...so that's why you get all of that bad press on how red meat is bad for you.
All I have to add is that I eat meat, vegetables, and a little bit of dairy (cheese). Cut out all gluten, and feel the best I've felt in the past 7 years. The end.

I don't agree with the paleo thing generally, think it's too simplistic but definitely great that you dumped the fish oil- toxic stuff, truly. The Great Fish Oil Experiment
One of the studies Atkins was based on was Keckiwick and Pawan which was published in the Lancet in 1957: Kekwick Pawan 1956 Lancet
Yes agree, exercise ineffective for weight loss.
