Did you see the MFP fat infographic?

https://blog.myfitnesspal.com/2013/09/19/nutrition-101-fats-infographic/

It gets a couple of things right, but for the most part, I'm irritated. How do you feel about it?

    I was very frustrated and even angry. I closed it and shook my head. The big FAT lies aren't going to go down any time soon, but I'm doing my part to expose the lies. People can see with their own eyes my health improvements on a high fat, especially saturated fat, diet. Not just the weight loss but the resolution of a long list of health problems and my whole attitude about life in general. You can't argue (well some people can) with what's staring you right in the face.

    I saw it and it really annoyed me. I was going to write a comment but it would have made me login separately. Don't know why you can't use your MFP login to comment on the MFP blog posts. PUFAs are not good, and saturated fats are not bad. Irritating.

    well they are bad if you're not on a keto diet. Most people aren't on keto.

    I can't watch half the shows I used to watch, even cooking shows because I get so irritated with the carb praising/fat bashing that happens. This kind of thing I just avoid at all costs!!

    Yeah, bad in combination with sugars and starches. Not bad on their own merit.

    I am close to being down 80 pounds now after month solid of being on Atkins induction / keto, boat loads of the foods they consider bad have cured my of my diabeties, I am completly off all diabeties meds, and the doc is taking me off more blood pressure meds this week, my cholestorol was the lowest it has ever been after months of bacon , steaks, oils and fats,, I feel amazing, its so very sad this continues to get pushed on the public, kinda sad really,
