He talked to me again about the need to be on drugs. I felt we should wait for the blood test results. Two days later my doctor gave me the astonishing news which was a new record for the most dramatic turn-around in the history of the clinic. The doctor had never seen anything like it.<br>My cholesterol dropped from 245 to 177 with an HDL reading of 38 up from 35 which is good. My bad cholesterol or LDL lowered from 169 to 125. My triglycerides (the fat molecules in the blood) had sunk to an amazing 71 down from a 205 reading. This meant my triglyceride - HDL ration was now at a very safe 1.9 ratio. Needless to say, I was ecstatic.<br>My doctor, strangely, still wanted to put me on drugs because he believed I couldn t stay on my diet. He apparently thought I was on his low fat-low carbohydrate-no protein diet. I said,  Doc, you know what I had for breakfast? Three eggs, sausage and bacon. I think I can stay with that. His only reply was that he sensed some resistance to my going on drugs. He never asked how I set this dramatic record at his clinic.<br>The rest of this article contains many of the things I learned from the Eades doctors: We are eating much less fat than 20 years ago but obesity has jumped 30% in the last decade. Type II diabetes has tripled in this same time period. Strokes and coronary heart disease are also rising. Fat is not the problem but most people think it is. We have replaced fat with carbohydrates which is really starch and sugar. We as a nation, have adopted the USDA food pyramid which means a high carbohydrate-low fat diet. However, it should seem obvious, this high complex carbohydrate-low fat diet plan has failed.<br>Food is composed of three macro nutrients which we have discussed: Carbohydrates, protein and fat. Meats are mostly protein and fat while plants are mostly carbohydrates. It is very difficult to cut out one macro nutrient. The reasonable position in the past has been to eat less meat, eggs and dairy products and replace those with grains, fruits, vegetables and fat-free snacks. Americans have cut back on protein in order to eliminate fats.<br>The bad news is that eating more carbohydrates stimulates your body to store more fat, so many people ge more fat. Carbohydrates can stimulate profound metabolic hormonal changes. Surprisingly, dietary fat doesn t do much to make you fat.<br>Eating carbohydrates, even those non-fat foods with carbohydrates, causes a rapid increase in the hormone called insulin and decrease in its opposing hormone called glucagon. Even complex carbohydrates stimulate this same kind of a response.<br>All carbohydrates are basically sugar. Starches are made up of sugar molecules. All carbohydrates are converted sugar. If you were on a 2,200 calorie per day diet and followed the USDA fod pyramid of 60% carbohydrates, your body would have to contend metabolically with two cups of sugar per day. Low fat/high carbohydrate people who do lose weight will also lose muscle. The high protein/lower carbohydrate people will lose weight more easily and quickly usually with no or little loss of muscle.<br>Insulin is released by your pancreas. Elevated insulin levels can cause monster health problems. Insulin s main job is to regulate blood sugar levels and it should be considered as the master hormone for all metabolism and it influences every cell in the body. When there is excess insulin produced, it creates havoc on the body which can cause all kinds of medical disorders.<br>People think that cholesterol is all bad but if we don t get enough cholesterol, our body will make it because its critically impor
