[QUOTE="uart, post: 830987, member: 41696"] Yes I like to think that my LCHF diet would be better described as LC(HF)^2. That's HF squared, meaning high fat and high fibre, because I do like to include quite a lot of low carb vegetables along with my higher fat intake. Andy, it may just be a balanced diet to you, but to many people who have been scared by the constant warnings (over their entire lifetime) about fat in their diet, anything other than extreme low fat is considered abnormal. That's the point of emphasising the "HF" here, to make people realise that getting energy from dietary fats is not abnormal - and can actually help in the case of diabetes. I know that personally it was something that really needed to be emphasised to me, because I had taken the low fat message to heart way to much. I sincerely now believe that it harmed my health and hastened (if not outright caused) my diabetes. When I think back to swapping out healthy milk for sugar laden fruit juice for instance, and there'd be at least a dozen other similar examples of choices like that I made. It makes me cringe now, but I did it out of fear of fats. [/QUOTE]
