[QUOTE="IanD, post: 228245, member: 6186"] That was a direct link to the course manual - alas no longer. I can't now find the manual on line. I've found my book now (after several days.) It was hidden in a folder in the drawer where I keep all my diabetes stuff. That's on p. 27. It looks dangerously misleading, as the the comparison is totally unrealistic & unfair: Low fat / high fat Calories: 1871/4420 Fat: 40 g /234 g Carb: 292 g / 423 g Just looking at the evening meal, NO-ONE on any diet & wishing to lose weight would choose - meat pie & chips followed by apple pie & cream. 1779 cals, 97 g fat, 190 g carb all in one meal. A fair comparison would be to reduce the figures to provide equal calories, & then the HF diet provides: fat: 99 g & carb: 179 g That is a reasonable amount of fat, still an excessive amount of carbs. An easy refinement - third comparison, would be cut out the pastry, chips, biscuits & fruit juice. Hope that helps - I'll be interested to see what the course leader says. [/QUOTE]
