I follow a diet fairly high in fat because as a celiac I have to avoid
grain and sugar but I exercise. My blood pressure is pretty cool for
one approaching 75, 110 over 60-70.

The ratio is usually 40-30-30, the 40 being the eprcentage of fat from
a diet that hovers around 1200-1400 calories daily.

Wow, this is news to me. After watching my skinny grandmother die of
diabetes from eating all that meat, I am scared to death of it but love
it to death at the same time. I had no idea that there was any diet,
other than Atkins, that advocated eating lots of meat. That just
wouldn't work for me because of my family history of high blood
pressure.
