[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1017633, member: 196898"] Thanks guys for having such a sensible debate on this matter. I bought it up because I have seen very little debate on whether high fat is ok, and because it is early days for the LCHF diet. I had expected more discussion on the LC threads elsewhere, but it seems the mainstream has accepted LCHF almost without question. I am T2D so it is not significant to my journey, but I have a friend who is T1D on a pump, and he struggles with fat content of his diet. He carb counts so he can adjust his insulin, but he only allows for carbs, and no one has taught him how to adjust his bolus for fat content. If there is an effect as described in those reports I found, then he and other T1D's need some education so they can learn how to deal with it. As a T2D I know from experience that high fat slows down and flattens a carb peak, and this aids my bgl struggles. Not sure what it is doing to my arteries, but as [USER=150927]@AloeSvea[/USER] said, it is the combination of LC that makes the HF work, and the two must be run together. It is[U] essential[/U] that we run our bodies in ketogenic mode. I am on the LCHF online training module, and it was not spelt out there. It is only when reading different forums that i finally get the message, As the OP started,it is right that we should question things we read, whether it comes from a medical professional, a diet guru, big pharma, or even DCUK since none of us really has the answers. We need to be wary, and carry out as much topic research as we can manage then make as good a decision as we can at that time. I can see why those in the health profession should stick to what they were taught at medschool, but as I tried to point out, it is on us the users to also educate when the opportunity arises. Forums such as this one make a valuable contribution to the debate(s). [/QUOTE]
