At least it will help majorly in not making things worse. Body fat is bad. Blood fats (lipids) are bad - in excess. Dietary CARBS not fats are responsible for both of these. Well actually dietary fats *in the presence of excess carbs* are bad, without the excess carbs and excess insulin they are metabolised quite differently.You may care to use more monounsaturated fats, Omega 3 polyunsaturates (fish) and some Omega 6s and keep the saturated fats down. I actually convert saturated fats into HDL (good) cholesterol rather than LDL (bad) in the absence of the carbs and triglycerides, not everyone can do this but it's commoner than you might expect looking at numerous blogs not primarily concerned with diabetes.Pleanty of veggies with bioflavinoids and antioxidants (look at the Eat The Rainbow thread) and as much exercise as you can manage should also have favourable effects.Now get yourself out there and prove the guy wrong!</blockquote>
