Medical Forum / General / Cardiology / December 2006Avoid saturated fats at all costs?
I'm a man age 48 abt 5' 11" and 210 lbs. I'm abt 30 lbs over weight. I was taking 20 mgs of Lipitor daily first thing in the morning with very good success at controlling lipids. I'm now "trying" 40 mg of simvastatin in the evening per my docs blessings. Trying to save some money I've diced that I really would like to get of stains period and my doc tells me that I probably could if I would lose 30 lbs So....I've decided its time to get serious abt this. My question is abt saturated fats. I read many labels when I grocery shop and see saturated fats in a LOT of foods I like. I see it in dark chocolate bars, cheeses, you name it. Should I avoid ANY saturated fats at all costs? Is it possible to not get "enough" saturated fats if you cut them down VERY low? I realize the government says we can have some saturated fats but I'm asking abt the value of going to extremes of avoiding it and the benefit (if any) of doing so. > I'm a man age 48 abt 5' 11" and 210 lbs.

You did not become overweight by eating saturated fats but from overeating. To lose 30 lbs or more permanently, you will have to eat less permanently: http://HeartMDPhD.com/HolySpirit/overweight.asp May GOD continue to help us with our needs, dear neighbor whom I love unconditionally.

Are you telling me that its the calories and ONLY the calories I should be concerned abt though. No real benefit in avoiding saturated fats to the extreme? Of course I realize that avoiding fats also reduces calories. > Andrew, in the Holy Spirit, boldly wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Are you telling me that its the calories and ONLY the > calories I should be concerned abt though.

"No. Its the weight and only the weight of the food you should be concerned about for losing weight permanently:" This seriously flawed opinion reflects a poor grasp of the scientific literature, a willfull distortion of information in service of an non-science agenda, reason for great caution in accepting other opinions from the source generally, all the more reason to ignore the source because the truth is not in it. This is just the same old same old two pound diet propaganda which lies in tatters scientifically, shredded these many times on this newsgroup and exists now only on vain hand waving and foot stomping rhetoric alone; otherwise known as "hot air".
