Hi there
Bit of a dilemma - I'm newly diagnosed type 2, on metformin, but trying to go low carb to try and control BS as much as possible myself. I understand the principle that to reduce carbs (or cut them out altogether) you need to increase protein and fats in your diet.
I am a meat eater so the protein bit is no problem whatsoever - I am really struggling with the fat however. It seems that the main way people find to increase fats in their diet is through dairy products. I cannot eat any dairy - I use olive oil in cooking, and skimmed milk in tea (cannot bear the fullfat stuff)
Is there a way of increasing the 'good' fats without butter, milk, yoghurt, cheese, cream, etc etc??
