Good morning
@Oldvatr
I did not post a lipid profile because I didn't have one done.. I had one done before hclf when I was diagnosed with diabetes.. Cholesterol was ok.. Triglycerides were rather high, I think about 400 (but I have no idea what kind of units).. Greece is trying to cut back on health care costs so doctors have become rather stingy with prescribing blood tests..
I have always had high triglycerides.. But no doctor ever suggested anything to treat this other than losing weight..
The diet excludes diary but not avocados.. You can certainly fit them in, in small amounts. Dr Greger and Dr Barnard even explicitly allow a small portion of nuts/seeds..
But even in its most strict the diet is not fat free as whole foods are never totally fat free.. There is fat in oats, in potatoes.. in everything
Grains are not mandatory, neither is soy. Beans are recommended in varying amounts as are fruit..
There is no specific amount of protein they suggest.. (how many beans can you eat?
)
As for the fat soluble vitamins, it is a low fat diet not a no fat diet.. It is probably best to combine your salad with those few nuts..
Advised supplements are B12 and just my suggestion a brazil nut a day just in case the food you get was grown on selenium depleted soil..
As for the rest.. I am no doctor
.. So I checked the doctors promoting this.. Unfortunately I couldn't find something better than this for NAFLD (

On a different lipid profile note.. I intend to have a full blood test early in November.. If you have patience, there will be numbers submitted here
