Being newly diagnosed as T2 I'm trying to (re)educate myself about nutrition to help me manage my condition without the need for medication.
-Eliminate sugar - no brainer
-Lower carbs, completely understood
-Higher fats - this is blowing my mind.
Fats are bad right?? Obviously not, fatty fish oils, nuts and avacado's etc I understand but reading this forum for a few days nowI 've been surprised how many criticise low fat advice and promote full fat dairy and meat fats etc. This goes against everything I thought I knew and I'm looking to understand more about why this is beneficial to our health and BG levels.
I also understand not all fats are equal, with trans, saturated, mono and poly all being about.
So please educate me, thanks
