[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1618930, member: 438800"] For what it's worth, I have been doing low-carb, [I]low[/I]-fat. For three decades before my Type 2 diabetes diagnosis I was eating "low fat" Mediterranean-style food and old habits die hard. So I just removed the carbs from the existing diet, and added new stuff including fun stuff to cook with vegetables. I did not switch to full-fat dairy products or whatever. I had been eating butter all along, but in moderation and almost entirely for cooking omelettes, that sort of thing. I did slightly increase meat but not dramatically: it used to be perhaps three nights a week and is now probably four. We now have fish more like twice a week when it used to be just once. I always ate lots of cheese and that has increased somewhat. Overall, I am probably eating a small amount more fat but it is still a low-fat diet compared to LCHF. I feel fine and the energy level is good. I am not sure why I am still alive, since in theory when you reduce the carbs you need to find the energy from somewhere else. But nine months on, it is working for me. I don't know whether it would work for others. Good luck with finding something that works for you! [/QUOTE]
