Welcome to the forum,
I have lots of heart problems and found since I have been low carb high fat my bloods for my heart are greatly improved .. It takes a big leap of faith to eat fat and for me it works ... Are you type 1or2 ?

Hi. A lot of the info about fat in foods and the heart is based on misinformation. Do discuss with the GP/consultant but be aware that fats may not necessarily be bad and carbs can cause the body to store fat. Have unsaturated fats when you can anyway such as fish oil. Protein should be fine.

You don't need to go overboard with your fats if this still worries you. Reduce your carbs to as low as you can, and just ditch the low fat products. Have real butter, real mayonnaise, plain Greek yogurts, cheese, eggs, meat and fish (especially oily fish like salmon). You only need to increase your fats to make up the deficit in calories lost by cutting the carbs. That's all I do.

Plenty of nice recipes on this forum - look in the food and nutrition area, and a thread "What have you eaten today" and also the Low Carb forum
