One of the biggest barriers to professional acceptance of the LCHF diet has been the HF- high fat bit. And yet without it the diet is a terrible struggle!
Partly through steady pressure by people like Zoe Harcome and Trudy Deakin the 'all fats are bad and saturated fats are very very bad' dogma is wearing thin. There has been a breakthrough article - a hugely important analysis of dietary fats in the BMJ -see the press release here;

Its trans fats that are bad, very bad -like margarine- the fats in full fat milk, yoghurt, butter and your steak are fine.
The more health-care professionals that become aware of this the better as saturated fat phobia is the bedrock of professional resistance to the low carb diet.
