That was enough for me to do some research, hence finding this site.It was difficult for me to get my head around the high fat thing as being a person with a heart condition, have been conditioned to eat smaller portion of carbs such as potato,cous cous,rice pasta etc and low-fat foods. The NHS never advocated a large portion of the foods that I have mentioned. For two years I fell off the wagon and started to eat the fat of the meat, increased the carb intake such as the foods I have mentioned. My cholesterol went up, was it the fat or increase of carbs? Although I did start to have some takeaways also, probably the wrong kind. Anyway, I follow the low carb diet, but I don't eat the fat of meat. My sister loves the fat from meat and eats very basic meals, what I would call plain, meat potatoes and veg. She is not a big eater either yet she has just been diagnosed with high cholesterol and the LDL not so good. This was 5 weeks ago , she has been eating lean meat and her cholesterol has dropped dramatically. I have lost weight on the 20 grams of carb and lean meat fish chicken,seeds,almonds,walnuts,cheese,and just a little cream,and my BG levels have gone down,but not through eating fat of the meat. Oh and lots of vegetables,sometimes I will have carrots. I also eat berries.</p></blockquote><p></p>
