Скорее американская мода на fat-free. Кстати, на фаст-фуде (если подходить с умом) можно очень даже неплохо питаться.

Нипп, что ты со своим боди-фэтом. Люди стремятся к тому чтобы а) дольше и лучше жить, б) лучше выглядеть.
Итальянцы наслаждаются жизнью, не грузят себя работой и прочими мелочами. Низкий уровень стресса -
это очень важно. Для женщины, кстати, низкий процент жира в теле после определенного возраста ведет к тому, что все жилы и морщины будут в глаза бросаться. Дольше всего живут slightly plump women. But only slightly

а диабетики и гипертоники сколько живут? Привет refined карбсам.

Боже, Нипп, ну что за чушь вы говорите! Вы очень сильно заблуждаетесь!

Насчёт чего именно? Что low-fat/high carb это полезная диета?

В этой диете такие карбс - плохие углеводы не приветствуются, здесь делается упор на хорошие углеводы.

Lower is Not Necessarily Better
A certain amount of body fat is vital for the body to function normally and healthy. In fact striving for a body fat percentage that is too low can be dangerous. Here's why...

Measuring your body fat percentage calculates your TOTAL body fat. This total body fat can be split into 2 categories...

Storage Fat -- This consists mainly of fat deposited just under the skin or subcutaneous fat. Storage fat for men and women is fairly similar. For the average man 12% of bodyweight is storage fat and for the average woman 15% of bodyweight is storage fat.


Essential Body Fat -- For the body to function normally and healthily a certain amount of body fat is required. This is called essential fat. For women the average amount of essential fat is 12% of bodyweight and for men it is 3%.

Trying to achieve a body fat percentage that is so low it affects your essential fat stores is NOT good for your health.

Some storage fat is also required for good health. It's used to protect internal organs in the chest and abdomen. So remember...

Aim to stay within the range for age and gender and rest assured you are taking one of the most positive steps to life-long health you can.

Нет их хороших и плохих. Все углеводы, кроме клетчатки, совершенно одинаково превращаются в глюкозу. Кстати, GI/GL не решает проблемы. Инсулина всё равно нужно одинаковое количество на одинаковое количество глюкозы в крови. Быстрее или медленнее, определит только будет у вас пониженый сахар после инсулинового пика или нет.

Нипп, так ты совсем отвергаешь углеводы?

Here’s the list of the fattest countries in the world according to the World Health Organization (WHO):

1. American Samoa, 93.5 per cent (of population that’s overweight)

Traditionally, Pacific Islanders ate native foods high in complex carbohydrates and low in fat. That began to change dietary habits as family members abroad introduced those back home to Western eating.

Krizia’s take: I was floored when I read that almost 100% of the population in Samoa was overweight. I mean, it’s incredible how countries are affected by the American diet. You’ll see this as a recurring theme among the other countries on this list!

2. Kiribati (in the Pacific Ocean), 81.5 per cent

Between 1964 and 2001, food imports to the least developed Pacific nations, such as Kiribati, increased six-fold. Those imports led to a huge influx in fatty food and processed meat, such as Spam and mutton flaps (fatty sheep scraps).

3. U.S., 66.7 per cent

In the early 1960s, 24 per cent of Americans were overweight. Today, two-thirds of Americans are too fat, and the numbers on the scale keep going up. Health experts attribute the rise to an over-production of oil, fat and sugar — the result of government farm subsidies started in the 1970s that made it much cheaper to manufacture products like high fructose corn syrup, a common ingredient in processed foods.

Krizia’s take: I guess Americans aren’t as fat as we thought they were given that 93% of Samoans are obese!

4. Germany, 66.5 per cent

When Germany found out that it was the fattest nation in Europe, health experts blamed the usual suspects: beer, fatty foods and lack of physical activity. Like the rest of the world, Germans are suffering from an easy availability of junk food and more sedentary jobs and lifestyles.

5. Egypt, 66 per cent

In the 1960s, Egypt produced enough food to feed its people a steady diet of red meat, poultry, lentils, maize and dairy products. But by the 1980s, the population had outgrown food production, leading to an increase in food imports that created poorer eating habits.

Krizia’s take: Here’s another country that really surprised me a lot. I always thought that Egyptian lived off a Middle Eastern diet, which is usually known to be quite healthy.

6. Bosnia-Herzegovina, 62.9 per cent

Smoking, drinking and eating unhealthy foods spiked during the war that ravaged the country from 1992 to 1995. Those living just above the poverty line are gaining weight the fastest, partly because of the tendency to fill up on cheap processed foods high in calories and low on nutritional value.

7. New Zealand, 62.7 per cent

Researchers found that how much time New Zealand children spend watching television is a better predictor of obesity than what they eat or how much they exercise. The study found that 41 percent of the children who were overweight by age 26 were those who had watched the most TV.

8. Israel, 61.9 per cent

In the past 30 years, the number of obese Israelis has tripled. As in most developed countries, obesity is most prevalent among Israelis with less education.

9. Croatia, 61.4 per cent

Croatia is a victim of the globalization of the food market, which tends to suppress traditional diets as cheaper processed foods from the U.S. and Europe flood store shelves.

10. United Kingdom, 61 per cent

A recent survey ranked the British among the bottom third of European nations in physical exercise, leading Health Secretary Andy Burnham to comment, “We’re really in danger of being known as the best in the world for watching sport, but one of the worst for getting out there and doing it for ourselves.”

* The bottom line is this: once a country introduces its population the American diet that is high in fat, sugar and salt that population balloons to dangerous proportions.

* We, as humans, are getting increasingly sedentary and that means we’re eating a lot and not burning off the calories because our jobs keeps sitting most of the day and then we’ll hoop into a car and drive home where we’ll have a fatty meal comfortably sitting on a sofa flipping through the 500 channels that are now available.

* When you look at the list of 10 fattest countries in the world, you can quickly see that the problem is the same and therefore the solution is also the same: healthy eating, getting sufficient exercise and adopting a healthy lifestyle.

Проблема с жиром только одна. 9 калорий на грамм. Если поддерживать intake на необходимом уровне, то 60% калорий из жира - совершенно никак не повредят.

Углеводы для меня это овощи и фрукты. А не сахар и крахмал. Тоесть палео.

Ну, я тебе сразу скажу, что в каменном веке у человека не было пол-туши коровы в холодильнике. Мясо ели далеко не каждый день. Во-вторых, с тех пор, как японцы стали потреблять больше мяса, их легендарная продолжительность жизни стала сокращаться.

Литературы есть много. Если вам интересна эта тема, то лучше глянуть в источник. А то я вам "напою" как тот Рабинович.

Мясо не так оптимально как рыба. Палео подразумевает больше чем просто еду. Это ещё и intermittent fasting и хитроумно подобраная физическая нагрузка.
