I heard a rumour that Schwartzenegger even wrote a book about exercise and recommends a high protein/high fat diet. <BR/><BR/>I am not sure whether any of this is true, but I do know for a fact that for example body builders, but also several athletes on endurance sports do use a low-carb/high-fat/high-protein diet for muscle development, heart- and vascular health and remaining lean. <BR/><BR/>In fact, the Olympic swimming team won the Olympics on a low-carb diet. "Laura Croft" got her lovely figure on a low-carb diet. The Apollo astronauts had a relatively low-carb diet. Their breakfast on launch day: steak and fried eggs. Winston Churchill (yes, "we shall never surrender" Winnie) lived to very old age on a very luxerious low-carb diet supplemented with a these days very politically incorrect amount of fine cigars and excellent cognac. Charles de Gaulle remarked once to my father that the warm heart of "la douce France" was fortified with "pâté de foie gras"... <BR/><BR/>Indeed, heart-healthy pâté de foie gras :-)Science4u1959https://www.blogger.com/profile/14032931049767819624noreply@blogger.com
