[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1877522, member: 21149"] It not only works for most of us but is based on good science as well I.e. that carbs are simply converted to glucose in the stomach whereas fats have a much more complex metabolic route with energy being used to do just that. Fat has a much lower effect on BS than carbs and I've not yet come across any research evidence that fat has any other noticeable downside for us. Salt is not an issue. Much of this comes from the old chestnut of clogged arteries caused by Sat fat which we know is mainly caused by the liver not by what you eat. I gather before the 2nd World War it was known that carbs needed to kept down if you had diabetes but some bright spark researcher in the 60s declared otherwise (I have a copy of the article somewhere) and the NHS and PHE have gone down that track ever since in Group-think mode.
