Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 I liked it. He's a real " what's the point of supplements? " type of person. Learned that olive oil is pure fat. Just fat. Kind of like stripping the fat off of bacon and just eating that without the rest of the meat. Olive oil I guess is similar with olives. But that's not going to stop me at least On 10/5/07, Laurie Swanson <laurie wrote: > > How was it?

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 He also said that eating olive oil contributes to the meat industry because that is where they sell the leftovers from making olive oil. The other thing he said that stuck with me is when you pour olive oil on your salad you are turning your salad into junk food because olive oil is a processed product.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Well, maybe i'll just squish all the fat out of my avocado and drip that over my salad instead Certain greens have certain tastes though, so I'm thinking if you're craving fatty or buttery you could use a big head of butter lettuce or romaine for the wet. Also, I'm sure there are fatty raw dressings in place of olive oil that can be made from nuts.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Maggie, You may have missed Doug's point here. He's not suggesting replacing one fat with another. Rather, he's suggesting removing, or nearly removing, all these overt (high-fat) foods from our diet. And it works!!!

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I know. I was being a bit facetious in suggesting all those.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Well, Dr. G does say that calories from fat should not exceed 10% of your total calorie intake. That means you probably won’t be eating avos every day. But he doesn’t put them in the same category as oils or supplements. At least avocados are a whole food! I thought the talk was excellent. His enthusiasm and vitality were very refreshing and inspiring. I think he talked for about 2 ½ hours straight, and then talked privately with people for quite some time afterward.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I want to know what people thought in comparison to Matt Monarch's talk the following evening for those who went to both. -- Maggie Fukuda Independent Promotions Bookings and promotions for bands and businesses 206-697-8631 irishgipsy " How far are you willing to go?
