[QUOTE="catinahat, post: 2598984, member: 155453"] We all have to find our own way, I understand your scepticism, when I first found this forum I thought they were mad and what they were saying was nonsense. At the time I was fully invested in the low fat doctrine so higher fat seemed counter intuitive. But I was obese with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart & Iver problems and T2. I reasoned that the low fat, healthy approach hadn't worked too well in my case so I had nothing to lose trying low carb for a few months. I lost weight, blood pressure / cholesterol came down and my hba1c was below 40 at my next review. Liver is good now although I still have heart problems, can't expect miracles I suppose. As far as I'm concerned the results I got were better evidence than some scientific study I can't understand. As for increasing fats, I'm still a little cautious with fats, I just increased them enough to replace the carbs so I didn't go hungry. Instead of spuds and gravy, I now have meat & 3 veg with a knob of butter. A drizzle of olive oil on salads, full fat yoghurt, that sort of thing. I definitely don't eat slabs of lard or whole blocks of butter, [/QUOTE]
