This is such a huge step forward. Thank you, Dr. McCullough, RFK Jr and the medical people making this change happen. I speak as a 73 year old married home cook, non-medical person, but I think better health is just a few weekly kitchen preps away for most people.
What I do is buy proteins for the week and cook everything but seafood on one day. I poached or braise chicken that can be shredded, reverse sear a 2 lb flank steak that can be sliced as needed, slow cook a pork butt or roast two pork loins and braise two duck legs. I buy heritage pork when possible. I buy beef that is raised by farmers whose processes I know. The same with chicken and duck. When I braise meat I keep the enriched stock I used for soups. I cook up several kinds of dried heirloom beans (love Rancho Gordo) and save that broth as well for soups and sauces. I also prep salad greens and vegetables three times during the week for freshness. I get local ocean fish once a week and have frozen and tinned seafood.
This may sound like a lot of work and expense, but it’s a quarter of what we would pay to eat out and honestly, the prep is fun and pleasurable and I’m a lousy chopper. Plus I’m a recent Septic Shock survivor who still needs a walker to get even three feet. If I can do it, other people can too. An example of easy, quick meals I made for the two of us yesterday:
Breakfast: steak, egg, bell pepper scramble
Lunch: chicken, butternut squash, kale, celery, farro, pomegranate seed salad with miso dressing. A cup of chilled cucumber and avocado soup. Siete tortilla chips with homemade salsa.
Dinner: local halibut with chimichurri sauce, Parish rice (half the usual starch of rice), pinto bean salad. And yes, my homemade ginger cookies made with Red Fife flour.
I have made what drs say is an excellent recovery from my Septic Shock on this diet and my husband lost twenty pounds.
Thank you, RFK Jr, for helping us get healthy. The hospital food was the worst!!!
I will still add more animal fat to my diet along with more animal protein. That ultra processed so called food, made me a T2 diabetic but I am working at turning that around naturally with my diet.
Great article of sharing quality! However, it lacks some context, that is the WHY saturated fats were targeted. As I recall this was a consequence of Big Ag developing mono-culture in the US which promoted all the seed oils---corn, cottonseed, canola. Concomitently, coconut oil and lard which were major oils used in the US began to be attacked. Coconut is not a major US product so eliminating it was an economic ploy for US agriculture. Lard was replace with Crisco--remember those ads promoting it? You can do anything with Crisco. Remember that scene in the movie The Help? As this article notes no studies were done on saturated fats when they were attacked: they were lumped in with others that were though harmful. So this article would have a lot more bang for the buck if it included this economic interest of Big Ag as significant context.
Actually I found this out for myself. I've often remarked how we were all getting fatter despite using oils and cutting out natural fats. When the scamdemic started I decided I wouldn't get the jabs,instead I would improve my health. I went back to butter, animal fats,cut out brought bread etc. Since then I have lost 4and a half stone.(14 pounds in a stone).never felt better, am on no medication,I am 71.
Medical Doctors love studies while they drug the sickest population on earth.
They treat symptoms, they do not even ask what caused them.
The lot of them never saw a quaxcine they did not also "love"
"However, for those of us who love whole foods, this creates an interesting puzzle. Nature rarely isolates macronutrients. High-quality proteins, like eggs, beef, and whole milk, naturally come paired with saturated fats."
He is on about "loving" whole foods... Then pivots to euphemisms for dead animals and their secretions. Same circus, different clown. Then suggests something to indicate he comprehends nature by saying "it" rarely isolate macronutrients. Absolute Word Salad. The good doc competes with Kamel Harris in the tossed category.
Medical Doctor John McDougall said it best: "People want good news, about their bad habits."
Cholesterol has been misreported however any cardiac surgeon who has dissected a plugged coronary artery removes cholesteol plugs, just saying. Begs the question yes?
What exacty causes adult onset diabetes and many malignancies??
Those who "love" eating dead animals, have an ethical quandry to address.
We could wax poetic about "free range" etc or "one bad day" but why""
Organic plant based for the win. Suckling off cows and eating their carcass has nothing
I would like to know the quality of the rest of his diet. Did he also eliminate sugars and processed foods? Did he eat a lot of vegetables, greens in particular? And then there is always the individual differences that we all have to negotiate in figuring out our diets.
Thank you Secretary Kennedy! I can now say I am eating normal without any arguments!
Nice work and well presented, Dr. McCullough. I will include this in my next blog post.
If God made it, eat it.
Howz about rocks? God gave humankind a mind and entrusted "us" with
the care of animals (dominion). Wake up.
AS God made it.

You are not buying "proteins" You are buying dead animals. You do not require dead animals to thrive.
Your dietary/kitchen protocol is exemplary and commendable, Polly!
cept for the dead animal bit...
Thank you, RFK Jr, for helping us get healthy. The hospital food was the worst!!!

it is every persons responsibility for health, John McDougal had great expertise about T2 diabetes, something well known for over 35 years...
The fact that you ate ultra processed foods is on you.

yes of course, just use coconut oil
Lard is dead animal fat...
Big Ag and Big P are off limits for Medical Doctors.

RFK removes of 55 "shots" from the "schedule" of 80x, recs.
Today Gov Paxton of the great state of TX launced a subsequent
investigation into Big P goons and the Medical cartel who have always
been the delivery boys for the vaxs and quaxs (mRNA)
Moderna froze its vax development>

You can say all you want about Ancel Keyes but he lived to be 100 on his diet.
Indeed, his work timely and useful if incomplete.
The ethics of killing is something carnivores like to gloss over.
I would like to know the quality of the rest of his diet. Did he also eliminate sugars and processed foods? Did he eat a lot of vegetables, greens in particular? And then there is always the individual differences that we all have to negotiate in figuring out our diets.
In the pay to play world, Keyes did not necessarily live on his diet. It was meant for you and I.
Very true. 'Science' has typically serves its paymasters!
