Several of us have posted about our success with high fat. I count it a success as my blood test results (i.e. science at a personal level) have all improved since ditching the low fat diet. The blood tests (lower cholesterol and trigs and HbA1c to name a few), the scales and the improvement of several conditions (asthma, eczema, arthritis, insomnia for instance) all tell me that for me personally, high fat works. Asthma and eczema are meant to contraindicate dairy produce, but I have thrived on dairy.
So, on a personal level, should I listen to the science and suffer again or listen to my body? Having decided that I would listen to my body am I so wrong to suggest that others try it too? If it doesn't work for them, they can always revert to whatever diet they were choosing before. If it mostly works for them but they need to modify it, then they are free to do so.
Having followed the science for years, thinking that 'science' must be right and my body wasn't doing it right, I now realise that what is espoused to be scientific fact is only fact until it is disproved.
For myself and my non diabetic hubby I have proved that high fat works. The blood tests don't lie. That's the only science I need so that's the science I follow.
@Beating-My-Betes Your own blood tests results when you posted them didn't seem that great to me? Maybe your body doesn't like the science either?
