A man spent 15 years on an extreme low-fat diet starting at age 11, suffering poor skin, low energy, and depression. When he reintroduced animal fats and whole eggs, his physique improved faster than it had on steroids, and his mood lifted immediately.
I battled an eating disorder from the age of 11. It has been a nonstop struggle. So I started studying nutrition when I was 11 because I was nuts. I learned everything is low fat, low fat, low fat, because that's what it was back then. And I starved myself from fats for 15 years, like this phobia of fats.
I've done that too.
Yeah.
Yeah. And I wasn't in good shape.
I look at my skin, my attitude, the way that I felt. And I, I just, I'm disgusted. If I look at it now, I was like eating nothing but carbs. The only fat I got was peanut butter. I went into the kitchen one day and I told my wife, you know what? I can't do this anymore. I said, I'm so miserable. Sometimes she would eat, make stuff and I wouldn't even taste it because I thought it was going to make me fat. And then I eased into it. I was doing like 93/7 meat. I would finally eat a couple whole eggs.
Like you didn't get fat. Oh my gosh.
I kept looking at myself every day and I was like, what What is happening here? Like, I'm more cut than when I was taking steroids. Wow.
