Not sure where to put this BUT it is a link to Dr. Richard Mackarness's book on line. Since we seem to be discussing eating more fat lately, I was very pleased to find this at a book sale at the library today for 50 cents. He's another happy person who started livin la vida low carb and got rid of fat, bum knee and other illnesses.

Over and over thru over a hundred years there appears to be plenty of people and study's that support this way of eating. Funny the Medical Association has fought it right from the beginning.
Full Version: Eat Fat and Grow Slim by Dr. Richard Mackarness
It's clickable zyarah and I appreciate the link. 
I love this quote and it is only in the forward
"A man given carbohydrates alone, however liberally, would starve to death on calories,"
Karrie
Thanks for the link

Thanks so much...it's clickable. With Charles and you, we're learning about the geneology of Low Carbing. Looks like our family tree has some very interesting branches.

What a great link. I enjoyed reading this.
THANKS!
THANKS!
zyarah,
Thanks for sharing, I have read the Forward and the Introduction and I will read more as time permits. The English really have a clear, no nosense way of explaining things, don't they? Thank again!

Oh, I really love this book. I found the following quote very interesting and if one could find it, that may help many of you who can't resist cheese....
Cheese comes next. You can have all you want-especially the high-fat kinds like Brie, Gruyere and Camembert. Ordinary English or New Zealand Cheddar is excellent, cheap and contains no carbohydrate at all.
Does anyone know where you can find New Zealand Cheddar?
Interesting.

Okay, one last post on the subject:
Instead I would like to quote Elizabeth Woody, who described a high-fat, high-protein diet for slimming in 1950 in the American publication, Holiday Magazine:
"A problem nobody had was learning to like meat! That's the one thing we have to thank, more than any other, for the fact that people stayed on the diet and liked it. Or maybe I'd do better to put that the other way round. Our dieters liked this all-the-meat-you-want pattern for losing weight so much that they stuck to the program in spite of the few other things about it they didn't like quite so well.
High-protein (and high-fat), then, was not the whole secret of the diet's success. High pleasure in the eating was, apparently, the top trump. People welcomed a reducing diet that allowed them all they wanted of the food they liked so well, meat."
For those who can afford it, eating fat and growing slim boils down to taking a diet which is the essence of good eating. Sizzling lamb chops with cool fresh fruit to follow; steaks fried or grilled with onions; roast pork and apple sauce (made without sugar); mixed grills of steak, kidneys, liver, bacon, eggs and tomatoes; green salads and all the cheeses you want from the enormous variety now available: Camembert, double Gloucester, Port Salut, Gorgonzola, Wensleydale and so on.
Perhaps if we could sort out our international differences and stop spending so much money on the means of destruction, we could solve the problem of how to provide enough of these wonderful foods for everyone at a reasonable price. Obesity would then melt away and the world might return to the Garden of Eden before the serpent tempted Eve to eat carbohydrate-even the small amount in an apple. "
This about sums it up.
All the best,
Charles

Hey Charles,
I don't know where you live, but if you have a Whole Foods Market or a big international type farmer's market that would be your best shot I would think.
I've always wondered why some people say cheese slows them down? Unless you're eating a megaton of it, it is mostly just fat, some protein, and a very small amount of carbs. Hope that helps!

Great link, Zyarah. I have the 1961 book, "Calories Don't Count" by Herman Taller. My brother lost a lot of weight on that one. He advocated taking corn oil every day, and eating corn oil margarine (yuck!, butter is so much better!), and he allowed a potato per day. Basically you ate about 50 - 80 carbs per day, which in some people works great. I looked for a link to it but apparently there isn't anything on the internet about it. I guess I'll do a little perusing when I have some time, and see if he has any nuggets of wisdom to share here.

Thanks, Melodie. I do have one of those in Raleigh.
When I went to Lowe's foods yesterday, I did look in the exotic cheese section at the different kinds of cheeses and there were many that were just as you described. I bought three different kinds.
Now, the challenge is to eat them. I have a bad habit of buying stuff and then not getting around to eating it. I bought some Mascarpone because I read about how much Dr. Atkins liked it. We mixed it with some Splenda and oh my, it was the bomb! However, I felt too guilty eating it and it ultimately went to waste. I had nothing to worry about but old habits die hard...
Regards,
Charles
I hear you Charles. I do the same thing. I keeping vowing never to waste food again, and then I do. It makes me so mad at myself!
