Post 7: My Big Fat Diet

I saw the programmed shared amongst various pages/sites online and watched the programme in parts via YouTube My Big Fat Diet

The programme follows a fishing community from Alert Bay in Canada. Dr Jay Wortman MD asks members of the community to partake in a year long study which requires them to eat a low carb high fat diet.The study is supported by a nurse who had frequent contact with all the participants taking measurements, weights etc.

Results from the study show that weight loss was not the only benefit from following this type of eating plan.

If you get chance it really is worth the watch. There are other films from the series as well on YouTube.
