[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1747770, member: 94045"] It would be unusual if your doctor advocated eating fat. It goes against the NHS guidelines, which most doctors follow. So don't be surprised if he is horrified at the thought of you eating butter, cream, cheese and so forth. You need to do your own research and decide for yourself. By the way, you don't need to swallow down tons of fat on a low carb diet. You do need to avoid highly processed plant and seed oils when cooking and in any packaged foods you buy, and stick to real fats such as dairy, eggs, nuts, avocado, salmon etc. You only need to eat enough fat to satiate you, stop you being hungry, stop you grazing on snacks, and keep up your energy levels. There is no need to overdo it. When we cut carbs we lose an energy source, which has to be replaced. Just keep the fats enough to do this. Always read the nutrition labels on packaged foods, including the ingredients - and watch out for the plant/seed oils such as sunflower oil, corn oils etc. Up your omega 3 consumption and reduce omega 6.
