Physiologist Ancel Keys pulled a fast one. He "cherry-picked" his data when he published an influential paper titled "Atherosclerosis, a Problem in Newer Public Health." The real reason for heart disease in America is generally agreed to be refined carbohydrates such as white sugar, white flour, and high-fructose corn syrup.  Your liver converts excess blood sugar into triglycerides.

When 152 overweight adults ate a two-egg breakfast daily for 2 months, they lost 65 percent more weight than did a control group who consumed a breakfast equal in calories but lower in protein.  Two eggs contain 12 grams of protein which is enough to increase satiety by up to 50 percent and subsequently lighten your lunch intake by about 164 calories.  Source: Dhurandhar, Ph.D., (11/2007), "Scramble Away from Overeating," Men's Health Magazine, Vol. 22, No. 9, pg. 54.

In 1980 it was discovered that LDL actually comes in different sizes.
Small, dense LDL subfractions are associated with clogged arteries.

Large, "fluffy" LDL particles show no correlation with clogged arteries.
When people replace the carbohydrates in their diet with fat--saturated or unsaturated--the number of small dense LDL particles decreases.

Low triglyceride levels at middle age are the best predictor of exceptional survival.

The glycemic index, glycaemic index, or GI is a measure of the effects of carbohydrates in food on blood sugar levels. It estimates how much each gram of available carbohydrate (total carbohydrate minus fiber) in a food raises a person's blood glucose level following consumption of the food, relative to consumption of glucose. Glucose has a glycemic index of 100, by definition, and other foods have a lower glycemic index.

How to calculate your BMI:  Divide your weight (pounds) by the square of your height (inches x inches) and times that by 703.
18.6 - 24.9 is considered the normal range. 
Below 18 is considered underweight.
25 to 29.9 is considered overweight.
30 and up is considered obese.
