[QUOTE="Finzi, post: 346830, member: 56231"] Hester, as far as weight loss is concerned, I have a LOT more to lose than you, and I haven't particularly been shying away from fats (and have easily lost around 8kg in two weeks, without ever feeling hungry or having any cravings). What I don't know is whether it affects cholesterol/lipid levels - I had high triglycerides and LDL cholesterol prior to starting low carbing, was offered statins but am seeing whether taking Benecol every day will improve them, and when I have my next cholesterol check I will reevaluate. On a low carb diet, a lot of the really bad fats like trans fats are likely to feature much less anyway - they are often in cakes and pastries and things like that. The fats I eat are healthy natural fats like olive oil, sunflower seeds, nuts, avocado. I'm certainly losing weight on them, without giving it any thought at all. Again, butter I would mostly have on bread, and now that I don't eat bread any more, it doesn't really arise. I might fry something in it occasionally, but that's about it.
