I'm not a doctor, obviously...but after I got the 'switch to a low fat diet' speech from my physician after my numbers came back bad, I read Good Calories, Bad Calories. My life was changed.

Six months later my numbers were great. And I was eating eggs nearly every day and bacon 2-3 times a week. The real problems were removed or heavily reduced from my diet - sugar and bad carbs in general.

When he told me 'great job!' during my next physical, I just thanked him. Not worth the argument.

I still go through a dozen eggs a week, typically.

Agree.

I have admittedly not been as diligent the past few years and have put a few pounds back on, but the only thing that has ever helped me lose weight effectively is cutting out carbs and eating a more high-protein, high-fat diet. Watching calories, limiting fat, increasing exercise (without dietary changes) have never done a damn thing for me.
