The low-fat diet is quite possibly the most unhealthy diet trend ever perpetrated by mankind. For over three decades we have been bombarded with negative information concerning fat and I'm here to tell you it's nonsense. We've been told by the food industry that whole foods like eggs, coconut oil, and butter are unhealthy and that we should substitute them with refined vegetable oils, plastic margarine spread, and fat substitutes like Olestra, which is currently ranked #38 in Time Magazine's 50 Worst Inventions! In this post I explain this difference between good and bad fat; how much fat I eat (it's a lot); and why I haven't taken fish oil in years.

Craving some comfort food? Me too. Especially in these cold winter months. Unfortunately comfort food is almost never healthy food. Here's an awesome way to make spaghetti without using noodles. You'll never guess what it is! Hint: spaghetti...but not noodles.

We all know the arguments that being vegetarian is better for your health, the environment, and animals - - but in a carnivorous culture it can be hard to make the change. Graham Hill has a powerful pragmatic suggestion. Be a weekday vegetarian. This 4 minute video is excellent and neatly summarizes my post-cancer diet. Watch it!
