[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2127476, member: 506169"] You are right that both 'Low' and 'High' are relative terms and that what they mean in these Forums is different to what they mean in the mainstream medical/nutritional world and that is different from what they meant before the Second World War, or even back in the 1960s & 1070s. By 'High Fat' what (I believe) most of us mean is that you have reduced the Carb Portion of Calories in your meals. Hopefully to way less than the 40% to 60% in the 'outside world'. So you either go hungry, or you increase the calorie contribution from either Protein or from Fat or from both. So in this context 'High Fat' just means an increased calorie contribution from Fats compared to what you typically ate before. I notice that you said 'healthy fat'. Many of us (but not all) believe that 'traditional edible fat' is healthy and that there is doubt about those requiring an intensive industrial extraction. So I would say that Cream is healthy, but that Soya Oil, Rapeseed Oil and especially Cotton Seed Oil may well not be, despite them being polyunsaturated. [/QUOTE]
