I had already lost 15 pounds of fat and improved my two-mile jog time along with significant improvement in muscular endurance.<br>The doctor first took my blood pressure which was a nice low 100/58 score. 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
