2. Primitive man ate the fat before they ate the meat? Well, maybe they were hungry 'cause they hadn't eaten in three days. Ffs. This proves nothing (assuming it's even true).
2. The guy who runs 100 mile races eats fat during the race. So what? He didn't say he ate a high fat diet the rest of the time, presumably because he doesn't. So once or twice a year when he races he eats a lot of fat? So, because he doesn't immediately drop dead you should eat lots of fat all the time? Does not compute, and again proves nothing.
No, from the chart:
Point 1,10 and 20 are on the same calorie line. The incidences vary wildy.
Points 3, 21, 9 and 15 same story. The incidences do vary wildly. Once all datapoints are in, the graph does not tell a clear story, as the same fat calorie % leads to wildly different conclusions.

The main saying goes something like this:
"Saturated Fat Raises Your Bad Cholesterol and Causes Heart Disease"
This has been debunked though.
And in fact, this is closer to reality
"Despite decades of anti-fat propaganda, saturated fat has never been proven to cause heart disease. In fact, saturated fat improves some of the most important risk factors for heart disease."
Many more colesterol myths

It's about changing the type of fuel you're burning in your body. One type of fuel burns much more efficiently than the other. TL;DR your body prefers sugar (glucose) as fuel.
Carbs.
Deprive your body of the carbs it wants, and you force it to tap into the tank, which is the bellyfat you really want to get rid of, because it affects your hormones fo realz and is unsightly.
You will also start noticing how motherfucking sweet everything is. Holy added sugar Batman!

The important question is what people who gain weight eat, not what the government tells people to eat. This guy is using Wuflogic a lot here.
Food guidelines affect which foods are more easily available.

Jack, stop getting your information from youtube. Seriously. You will find people on there who will tell you all kinds of things. It's 2018 and nutritionists know the fat hype was overblown and they still believe too much fat is bad for you. These people have gone to school, studied nutrition, read the experiments. They aren't 20 year old kids making videos on youtube about shit they hardly know about to make a few extra bucks.
If you want to lose weight and the keto thing is working for you, then do it until you've lost whatever you want to lose. Then put down the meat and pick up the carrots and celery and spinach and apples. It'll be better for you in the long run.
I'll try to find you some proper studies to look at later.
I'm on track to have lost 18 lbs this month.
