Is there any science behind the claim that fat is the enemy (not carbs)?

[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2277035, member: 501623"] Thanks for sharing your journey. I've convinced my husband to go low carb and he finally has started it now - he was fed up with the 10 extra kilos that he has put on in the last couple of years and watched me drop the 5kgs that I had been holding onto since we met and started having children. The sarma is a nice low carb meal - not traditionally had without mashed potatoes though - so my husband has been visiting the toilet a bit since he had it without the usual carbs to soak up the fat. My reason for reintroducing carbs is just a psychological need to know how bad they are for me and to see if anything has changed after a bit over a year of low carb - and it has improved I think. I ate the oats this morning and didn't even enjoy them this time - which is great news to me because in the past I always loved my porridge. This morning I had to eat an egg first because the idea of eating carbs on an empty stomach after having eggs only for breakfast for about a year just didn't sit right with me. There are some other carbs that I miss though - I had the other one today as well - palacinke (aka crepes or pancakes) but I was happy having mine savoury and filled a small thin one with a chicken rissole and melted cheese. I really do love those and when I am really missing them, I try to make an almond meal alternative. Same goes for a piece of cake. I do nut meal cakes and they only spike me into the 6s usually. So does beetroot, garlic and celery help lower blood pressure? I know about garlic and eat it raw periodically. Beetroot is one that I have never eaten much. The last time I made a beetroot salad the juice got in under one of my crowns and made my tooth hurt... and I haven't had any since. And celery is another one that I've never liked much. But I think I will buy some this week just to remind myself again. I don't eat as many vegetables as I feel I should. I started eating meat only meals and then having a salad later in the evening to stop me snacking on other things. I must have to be stricter yet to get my fasting level back under 5mmol. I really haven't seen it there for a while. And speaking of needing sleep, it's 1am here. I really ought not to be sitting in front of my screen at this hour (another vice of mine :p [/QUOTE]
