What's been really frustrating is some of the contradictory information out there about what to eat and what not to eat. I realize I should set up a meal plan with a dietitian.
for Heaven's sake - please tell me - what is wrong with an egg yolk???

IMO, from what i read above, you are automatically labeling "fat" as your enemy.

your enemy is probably more likely to be carbohydrates and the populist media.

yes, pastas, breads and rice are your enemies - for sure. but also so are, most fruits, fruit juices, milk, things like Yams and parsnips (this is a fairly long list).

i would encourage you to read here. fat is not likely to be your enemy.

despite what you have been brainwashed to believe.

my opinion,
