Re: trying to stay warm at work

Quite a few north americans these days are too fat and dietitians are taught
at university that they must promote limited fat diets and low meat diets
(low protein diets), mostly based on mean caloric need versus caloric output
of food ingested, which is right for most work loads these days. They are
very wrong if you work hard in the cold or simply have to live or survive
many hours in the cold. You are correct in assuming that following their
advice blindly could eventually be dangerous even lethal.

Concerning the need for protein to digest fat, the fact is that what you
really need is water. A diet rich in fat but low in protein will eventually
induce a deficit in essential amino acids found easily in abundance in meat
but less easily in vegetable protein or a strict vegeterian diet.

You and I are in agreement, dress adequately and feed the furnace and you
should be fine outdoors in cold weather.
