I think fruit and fat are ok. While I could eat fruit I did fine on the two. but
fat has a bad rep that it does not deserve. natural saturated fats are fine.
coconut oil is healthy to consume. You need to go visit
alt.support.diet.low-carb
You will get a lot of info. fats are a good source of calories and nutrition.
good fats like coconut oil nut oils olive oils butter and such and meat fats are
fine. it's the processed crap that we are told is healthy that is a problem.
