[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 544352, member: 21149"] The NHS as others have said is a dinosaur and like a liner takes 10-20 years to turn around. Many (most?) dieticians just repeat the mantra they had on training and sadly it's not evidence based and largely wrong. The concern I have with the LCHF acronym is that it says LC which is great but also says HF which isn't essential i.e. you just need enough fats (AND proteins) to give you the calories and nutrients you need when low-carbing. Saying HF to any HCP will scare the hell out of them when they have been promoting low fat for so long so personally I would never use the term LCHF but just say low-carb together with adequate fats & proteins. Some suitable acronyms might be LCEF (Low Carb Enough Fat) or LCEFP (Low Carb and Enough Fat & Protein) [/QUOTE]
