nope, vegetable oil is a def no-no, unless it is cold pressed olive or rapeseed. Low fat is being discussed, but in a "we need to debunk this myth way" Was amazed to be told butter and lard are healthy fats.

Is your course part of the Xpert learning courses?

Excellent.. that could explain the low carb message Dr Trudi Deakin who founded Xpert is a low carb advocate herself.

The NHS is now moving towards promoting Low Carb. Currently am on Preventing Diabetes course, they are suggesting a find the best option for you approach, and Low Carb is one of the options.

That seems exactly the right approach i.e.-
Assume your patients are intelligent adults
Give them enough information about different approaches in order to allow them a) to do more research if they are need /want to and b) to make an informed choice that they can live by / with and adjust or change as / when / if necessary.
I wish that approach was more evident in both the NHS and elsewhere

Neither had I until recently. But this is an NHS backed programme, so will be more noticeable as it is rolled out across the country.
