The comments about fat being good for you doesn't seem to work for me.  I
get a lot of abdominal pain, bloating, and gas which seems to run all over
my body causing extreme cramping all through the trunk of my body. I've also
recently confirmed a sentivity to milk and wheat products (with the same
symptoms as too much fat) so everything seems to be altering. Any ideas why
all of this would happen?

                This was true for me, at least when I had more to lose.
(Used to eat
                4,000 - 5,000 calories a day, mostly fat and still lose fat.
And it's
                not like I had too much to lose. At my heaviest I was just
over 200lbs,
                fairly muscular) Hard to say if it's still true now, since I
am fairly
                low body fat %.
