[QUOTE="jpscloud, post: 1966821, member: 232698"] I think I wasn't sufficiently motivated to educate myself properly until now, and just accepted canon on fats. I'm morbidly obese, but interestingly my mum verges on underweight. Her DN when she was diagnosed as pre-diabetic (but not overweight) some 15 years ago almost killed her, by telling her all fats were off the menu. Mum followed that advice so well she starved herself almost to death, despite me threatening to march her into the Dr's surgery. Eventually she consulted the Dr who told her fats were back on the menu. My DN still gave me the low fat advice - low fat yoghurt or fat free yoghurt was on the list of "good" foods - in 2015. Being obese and desperately looking for ways to not be, I conflated high dietary fat with high dietary fat and sugar combined, which got me into this mess in the first place, I think. I understand differently now though it is still quite a recent epiphany. Edit: I meant that eating high fat, high sugar foods on a daily basis got me into this mess, not the conflation! [/QUOTE]
