[QUOTE="Traffer, post: 2304740, member: 529992"] Turns out the recommendations to reduce fat intake were wrong. They do not lead to cardiovascular disease. Carbs consumed raise blood glucose, which raises insulin, which leads to storing unused energy as fat. Eating fat does not follow the same process, so fat in does not lead directly to fat on your body. Our body needs good fats to produce hormones among other things, and helps satisfy hunger, which leads to eating less. But when the recommendation was to go fat free, the food industry responded with low-fat choices. Losing the fat in foods led to bad tasting foods, so fat is replaced with food starch and fructose/high fructose corn syrup. So that low fat choice is going to increase your blood sugar. Glucose in blood leads to insulin release and weight gain, with too much weight gain, insulin resistance. The science seems still divided on full fat dairy products; high insulin release, yet longer term reductions in body fat. But not on low fat choices, with the added starch/sugar, it leads to weight gain and possible insulin resistance, so AVOID. After watching my mother for years on WW, I'd avoid them too. Watching her struggle to reduce calories, when all calories are not equal, it dominated her life. When all she really needed to do was cut the carbs, eat more real protein and take a walk. On Keto, by the way, you're getting your blood glucose levels low enough, that your body switches from burning glucose to burning fat. And hopefully get the fat out of your liver/pancreas and get your adipose cells (fat) to start storing energy normally and reverse Type II insulin resistance. Having said all that, I'm still not there. My latest blood test results come out tomorrow and I'm hoping the doctor agrees/the numbers show, it's more dangerous to stay on meds with little carb intake than any benefit they may be providing. Here's hoping! [/QUOTE]
