Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It

and Start Here

I'm biased by my experience eating High Fat/Low Carb. 70 lbs lighter, better stamina, better blood work, medical issues that had been getting worse repaired without meds...

but everyone's body is different and YMMV.

I have some blood-pressure issues, and last year when I did something that was DASH-like, it helped quite a bit.

Classical DASH does a lot of whole grain carbs, modified DASH either up health fats or veggie intake, depending on your goals

well, my BP is now 115/75 and it was borderline high.

Though if you any resources on recipes with portion-sizes/estimated calorie counts for high fat/low carb/ I would be interested as well.

For low heat, I use olive, high heat, sunflower. PCC doesn't sell non-mechanically expressed oils AFAICT.

for low temp, I tend towards coconut oil or olive oil. Avocado and almond are great for high-temp.

Watching this plurk with interest.

Well, going with a slightly modified form of paleo -- basically I'm ok with small amounts of grains and dairy. I found so far it's more important to have a defined plan for...

breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner

suggests planning meals (at least dinners) a week in advance.
