Shauna,

I don't have a set answer based on nutritional expertise, but I can

tell you that after being on the low carb diet, even without watching

fat intake to any extent, my cholesterol and triglycerides went way

down and my good to bad ratio improved. I guess what I am saying is

that in my opinion, the first most important thing is to get the bg

numbers under control and then see about the rest of it. Someone else

may have specific advice regarding how much fat we need or should have.

Last year after knee surgery I was told to lose weight urgently. The surgeon

suggested changing endocrinologists (from the free hospital service to a

young chap in privat practice). The new endo looked at my WOE - and BGs etc

and suggested that I limit my intake to less than 1000 cal a day and no more

than 10 percent of calories from fat. Carbs (already low GI) and proteins -

around 45 percent. By 6 months I had lost over 22 pounds.

Of course YMMV. I would not be doing this alone - having professional

supervision is important.

looks like they are recommending 30% of total calories for fat

calories

so take you total daily intake of food and make sure the fat calories

are only 30% of that total

OK, the main thing is that not all fats are then same. Highly marbled meat, for

instance, is what

we should avoid. Olive oil, though, is a good fat. So, as with carbs, there are

good and bad fats.

BUT fats don't really lead to high cholesterol as the " authorities " have claimed

since 1943, it's

bad carbs that do so.

Very controversial item here over the years.

That is the first time I've heard that - can you elaborate or do you have

reading on it? Sounds interesting.

Certainly. It's a main idea with Dr.Bernstein, and you can read about it on his

website at:

http://www.diabetes-normalsugars.com/index.shtml

There is an article listed there that points it out from a slightly different

direction, called

" CHOLESTEROL THEORY WIPES OUT HUMAN RACE " , found at:
