Some stores around here carry ground beef varying from 75% as their fattest to 87% being their leanest. Another store carries at least 4 different percentages between 65% to 97%. I get the 90% lean, 10% fat middle kind.

That’s the middle kind?

Like: 1) I eat chicken with skin. 2) I eat chicken without skin.<br /><br />And there's 3 main type of ground beef, not just regular and lean. I buy the medium one. Too much fat drains off of the regular and the lean doesn't have much fat. I get the 90% lean, 10% fat middle kind.

I sent them this letter "I think your questionaire is very poorly designed. It seems to be obsessed with questions about fat in the diet and whether the dieter takes steps to avoid it like cutting out the fat in meat and chicken before we eat it. The way I lost the weight and kept it off is by embracing the low carb way of eating (Atkins). I eat only 40-60 gr. of carbohydrates per day and plan on eating that way for the rest of my life. Also I greatly improved my lipid numbers by eating this way. Yet there is no place in that extensive questionaire to show this. I have to wonder whether you people reached a foregone conclusion before even sending out the questionaires." I took part in their study.

Heh.
