I love that Doc!

I have just had a call with a Doctor from my surgery. He sees no problem in me going on the LCHF diet as long as I eat the good fats.....................yeahhhhhh. He is scheduling a blood test for about 4weeks from today. I didn't tell him that I have been eating LCHF for 10 days already hehe. Don't tell hubby but I think I am in love

Heehee.....
There's been recent research shows that saturated fats don't necessarily do the damage they were once thought to.....
I have a mixture of butter for spreading and olive oil for frying.....

I like that I can have butter... don't think I will be giving that up again!

Works for me and really, if we're not eating much bread, crackers etc, we aren't eating so much butter

Excellent news for you @ellagy . For me, when interpreting "healthy fats", I tend to take that as being the Trans Fats as being the biiiiig nasties. Other than that, I have a good range and variety, including both Sat and Unsat fats.

Good luck on your journey, even if you have jumped the starting gun.

Thank you AndBreathe... he did mention nuts etc but I like butter and cream and having had to give them up for the last 6years I am not going to give them up without a fight!

I was just so pleased with his reaction.... 'I don't see a problem there, give it a try'.
