[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1377116, member: 219467"] The trouble is.. no diet study will ever be reliable unless you lock people in a room and feed them exactly what you are experimenting and even if you could do that ( almost impossible these days) then I'm guessing a number of those people would have different results to the majority. If you are worried about fats and cholesterol then first you need to find out whether you believe what has been written about cholesterol and dietary fats. Do they have an impact and should you care? Once you have got your head around that then you can start looking at the effect fats have on you. That is the dilemma - what works for me may not work for you. There is no right answer. I have found something that works for me.. my overall cholesterol has gone up slightly but I don't care because I don't think it is relevant. I have lost weight and have decent blood sugar control without hunger. So far it has been easy. Loosing the next couple of stone will not be easy as it has taken a few months to lose the most recent one. However as I am eating this way (ultra low cab high fat) for the rest of my days then that's fine.. I'm a work in progress.. an ongoing self experiment. I would suggest that you read around and decide to try something for say 6 months and get all the tests before you start then get another set done after 6 months. Test all the while and record what you eat and your own test results to see how [B]your [/B]body reacts to foods. I'm afraid there are no easy answers its more an educated leap of faith. Good luck!
