Not to mention the fact that "low fat"/"fat free" often simply means more sugar used and isn't necessarily more beneficial in the long run.

That article is a great starter for the average person starting out tho. I remember having so many of the same questions when I first started out.
I heard someone on a podcast say something like, "the biggest injustice to fat is that it's called fat". It really should be just considered energy.

I have been trying a ketogenic diet (without going into a keto state) 5 days a week to see how I do on it. I workout fasted daily and have done very well with this lifestyle. I have no cravings for grains but I still battle the sweet tooth. I haven't gone all-in yet but with a little more weekend discipline, I think it could be pretty sustainable.

Annnd of course my pastry chef girlfriend has brought home almond croissants. Ok, maybe a lot more weekend discipline.
