High fat diet and cholest...

[b fold the truth]

I grow really really well from a high fat high calorie diet. I love hamburger helper. When dieting I eat a box of hamburger helper a day mixed with 3lbs of ground beef. I also eat about 4 cups of white rice and about 6 cans of tuna....and a gallong of miilk. I always grow like a weed...and never get too fat from it....little weight gain but not too much.

I eat a lot of high fat foods all the time and never get overweight. A friend of mine was asking me this weekend about my bulking diet and they said "don't you ever worry about clogged arteries" and stuff like that.

That got me to wondering....

what do you all think?

STUDIES HAVE BEEN DONE THAT SHOW THAT THE ATKINS DIET IS ACTUALLY A GOOD DIET FOR REDUCING CHOLESTEROL-despite the tons of fat he tells you to eat

Not really interested in a "diet" at all...ha ha. I'm still trying to gain weight.

Does anyone else on here eat a high fat diet...and not give a lot of real concern to cholesterol etc....? I think that it's probably time that I did.

I think the object in gaining weight is to get heavier not fatter. Up your Calories and lower that fat intake. Doesn't matter if you reach your goal weight if you are a tub of shit. Yes, you WILL clog your arteries. The Atkins diet IS NOT high fat............It's high protien, low carb. Nothing about the diet he just described is low anything.

First off your not on a Atkins diet, cause your got high carbs as well.

Second, Atkins promotes high fat and high protein.

Third, if you could get calories from forms other than saturated fats, I think in the long run would do you better. You can get the same calories per gram with unsaturated. So if its trying to get the high calories you want I'd suggest doing it with unsaturated fats.

And since you like peanut butter:

"Dr. Richard Mattes, professor of Foods and Nutrition at Purdue University found that when 500 calories of peanuts were added to subjects' regular diets, substituted in the diet for other fat, or eaten freely, the results were the same-- the men and women automatically compensated for most of the additional calories and they spontaneously commented on the high satiety of the peanuts. Those who either added peanuts to their regular diet or substituted peanuts for other fats had the added benefit of significantly lowering their triglyceride levels (TG), a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) (4).

I was not going to respond, because AGENT SHAGWELL explained most of this to the dot. I do want to give you guys a run down on fats:

Two-types of essential fatty acids: Linoleic and alpha-linoleic acids. Linoleic acid is classified as an omega-6 fatty acid and is found mostly in vegetable oils. Alpha-linoleic acid is a precursor for the omega-3 fatty acids, which also exist in fattier fishes, including salmon, herring and halibut.

The fat that has the worst reputation is saturated fat, which is hard at room temperature, whereas the essential fats are usually liquid under the same conditions. Saturated fat, although doomed to be the worst of the worst in everyone's eyes, is needed for the body to maximize testosterone synthesis. While, not essential, it is recommended to maximize testosterone synthesis.

But, wait, wait. If we are looking for the KING of bad-fats then we have a winner: Trans fats. The worst fats you can consume in your daily diet, which are, by the way, used in quantities of 30-40% in most processed food. Hey, even your "Healthy Choice" meals contain about 40% trans fat. Probably one more reason not to listen to corporate hype. Yes, this type of fat will raise cholesterol levels, and decrease overall health, but the simple thing to do is, not to consume trans fats. (example: Partially hydrogenated oil. )

Hmmmmm...since I have recently set a few new goals for myself as far as comp wise...I guess that I'd better start thinking more about my diet huh?

Peanut butter? How'd you know I loved peanut butter? I always take an x-tra large jar of peanut butter to bed with me at night...by the morning...it's 1/2 gone.

Wow...all of these poly-, mono-, un-, super- saturated stuff is really bringing me back to those really really scary days in college....Chem, bio, anatomy, microbio, phys...ughhhhhh...and I have tried so hard to forget all about them.

Thank you again...and any other info would be great. I'm just looking to get into a routine in which I can eat a lot of "better" foods and keep the amount of fat that I have. When I start eating cleaner for a few days or cut back my kcals...I start to lose fat...and I love my fat belly.

Thanks
