Facts:
- High LDL causes more heart attacks. We know this from epidemiological studies, as well as Mendellian Randomization Studies. Basically, people with genetically higher LDL are more likely to die of heart attacks. These are good studies because there is no healthy user bias. You take one group of people with a low LDL gene, and one without, and the low LDL people have fewer heart attacks, and live longer.
- Doctors prescribe statins to lower blood cholesterol, and statins have been shown to reduce blood cholesterol and heart attacks.
- The basis of saying eating cholesterol doesn't matter is from studies that take people eating several eggs per day. Add one more egg per day, and their blood cholesterol doesn't budge. Because they've hit a cholesterol plateau. If you go from 0 to 1 per day, you will see a decent uptick.
Eggs are very nutritious, but have cholesterol and other things making them not great for you. They make people feel good because they are high in protein, nutritious, and dietary cholesterol temporarily raises testosterone. However, eating too much dietary cholesterol causes heart disease over time, which eventually can lead to erectile dysfunction, and poor blood flow in general, which means it is a short term gain, long term pain kind of thing.
Wow. I guess I've been living wrong, then. I'll jump right on your tofu diet.
Don't even bring up "long term pain," smart guy.
Dinner last night for me was a pound of bacon and four eggs. I'm dead now, though, so I'm not sure how I'm typing this.

Eat more meat, live longer.
"Worldwide, bivariate correlation analyses revealed that meat intake is positively correlated with life expectancies."

Of course, I faced this when I was actively training before bodybuilding competitions. Your body requires protein because it is a vital substance. As far as I understand you used to eat meat and eggs regularly, so now your brain is giving your body a signal of "danger", it will pass. I dealt with this need differently, I have a beef jerky dehydrator, so I sometimes ate jerky that I made at home. I know that many trainers do not support this idea of replacing plain meat with jerky, but if you think about what happens to meat in a dehydrator, you'll see that it's a great alternative. You may be told that plant foods can also be a source of protein, but I don't think any spinach can replace steak, right?
