[QUOTE="Daphne917, post: 791605, member: 124172"] Hi Venta like you I couldn't get my head around the idea that eating full fat was better for me than low or half fat. I was also on statins (Pravostatin) and it pushed my BS up to the diabetic range. I came off them due to other side effects and decided I would give LCHF a go. I cut down on or eliminated the so called 'healthy' foods such as w/meal bread, rice, pasta, jacket potatoes, fruit etc which are full of carbs and swapped low fat for full fat such as whole milk, butter and cheese. I also got myself a BS meter which means that I can test what different foods do to my BS and whether or not I can eat or need to avoid it. I usually test the same meal 3-4 times before deciding whether to 'keep or ditch'! I had my last check up last December and my hba1c was 42, my cholesterol was 4.2 and I'd lost about KGS since August. I'm still losing weight and my BS readings (taken from my meter) are usually in the 5s. I have the occasional glitch or 'naughty moment' food wise but I haven't regretted it. All I can say is read the forum and decide what you feel is best for you! [/QUOTE]
