Plaque is the stuff of coronary heart disease. It is CONTROLLABLE, it is STOPPABLE, it is REVERSIBLE.
But you must be equipped with the right information on diet, nutritional supplements, and hopefully the avoidance of medication.

When I tell patients how I advise a wheat-free, cornstarch-free, sugar-free diet on the background of a low-carbohydrate diet, some people ask: “But can I live on a no-carb diet?”
Well, there’s no such thing as a “no-carb” diet. Low-carb, yes. No-carb, no.
Here are the carbohydrate contents of various “low-carb” foods:
Gouda cheese–3 oz contains 1.65 grams carbohydrates
Mozzarella cheese–1 cup contains 2.89 grams carbohydrates
Walnuts–4 oz (56 nuts) contains 2.96 grams carbohydrates
Almonds–4 oz contains 1.38 grams carbohydrates
Sour cream–one-half cup contains 3.31 grams carbohydrates
Red wine–3.5 oz glass contains 2.69 grams carbohydrates
Eggplant–1 cup cooked contains 8.33 grams carbohydrates
Green pepper–1 medium-sized raw contains 5.52 grams carbohydrates
Cucumber–1 medium contains 4.34 grams carbohydrates
Tomato–1 medium contains 4.82 grams carbohydrates
(Nutrition data from USDA Nutrient Database)
In other words, foods thought to be “low-carb” actually contain a modest quantity of carbohydrates.
Such modest quantities of carbohydrates may not be enough to trip your blood sugar. But add up all the “low-carb” foods you consume over the course of a day and you can easily achieve 30 grams or more carbohydrates per day even without consuming any higher carbohydrate foods.

After starting fish oil and vitamin D3 and eliminating sugar/wheat/pasteurised milk my hunger seems to have ratcheted up! i wonder whats going on here? Is this normal?
There is no dearth of calories in the diet!
My weight has always been good and I work out (hard) regularly and have so for the last 30 years (I'm 53). My cholesterol is also good. I didn't eat much processed food before but in the last 9 months have cut it out completely. No sugar, no white flour, no bread, less of all other grains and now I can't stop weight loss. I am below my desired weight and it keeps coming off. If I even walk too fast I lose weigh!! I tried adding more tubers with no luck. I added larger portions of quinoa…no help. I have now resorted to eating soaked brown rice which hasn't helped yet. I get roughly my bodyweight in protein per day. I am always hungry and I'm eating about every hour. I consume around 3000 calories per day. I'm 5'10 and went from my fighting weight of 183 to 168 as of this morning. I need to get back to at least 173-175 but it won't happen unless I add back some more grains. I will now start increasing the portion sizes of the grains I'm eating but I am already up to close to 2 cups per serving!!! I have now added rice/quinoa to lunch meals also.
you can train athletically on a low carb diet. our bodies are highly efficient. if you don't give it sugar, it will make energy from stored fat. (and we all have fat, even thin people.) the best training i ever did and strongest i ever was involved a low carb (vegetable) and hi protein diet. After a few weeks, your body produces fuel differently. if you're used to gooing or sports liquid, your body will have to acclimate to training without it. But one you do, you'll notice your lactic threshold will be higher and you'll bonk much less. Cashews are great instead of the goo…
The USDA National Nutrient Database for Windows is a great little tool is you're very serious about restricting the total number of carbs eaten in a day. Combine that with weighing your food, and you can get a very good idea of all the nutrients going into your body.
The aren't many studies showing the benefits of coconut oil. However, in my case, adding coconut oil to me diet sent my HDL from 32 to 52.
good luck to those who try this no-carb diet.
