The Fat Experiment: Fighting Fat WITH Fat a la Weston Price

by Charles on December 8, 2009

Weight loss: it may not be isn’t just caloric restriction that reduces weight. It’s the ratio of the macronutrients – carbs, proteins and fats — to one another. And it’s the latter, fat,  we are concerned with today as a new online experiment tries out the “eat fat to lose fat” theory (based on the book of that title by Mary Enig and Sally Fallon). “The Fat Experiment” is about a 21 year old woman who weighs 296 pounds at 5’8″. Her goal is to lose 40-50% of her current body weight and she will do this on a Weston Price diet consisting of roughly 60 percent fat. Specifically, on her “Principles” page she lists the features of healthy, traditional diets she will be following. Spot-on. I look forward to following her progress. She begins the experiment by posting the following YouTube video. She obviously takes her goal very seriously. We take her at her word and wish her the utmost success. We will follow this and publish updates along the way. In the meantime please become a regular visitor to her blog and offer your support http://thefatexperiment.wordpress.com/ She rocks — let’s let her know we are out here!
