Why a Lowfat-Lowcarb Diet is Unsustainable !

Every clued up active and well controlled type two diabetic knows a lowcarb lowfat diet is unsustainable. How can you drastically reduce a food group like carbs and do the same with fats ? That only leaves the third major food group of protein.  How much protein can you eat ? I have done the math and consuming a typical diet for a fit and active man say 2500 calories it does not stack up. The question arises why would you want to do away with fats ? Fats taste good and at over twice the calories per gram as carbs and protein are a great source of energy. Many fall for the biggest con ever hoisted on the medics and the general populace, fats are bad for you. They clog up your arteries and lead to CVD. This is absolute tosh and no meaningful trial or study has ever proved this. In fact the opposite has been found.

Time after time I see trials demonising saturated fats, but often a clever trick is employed, they lump in trans fats to skew the results. Man made trans fats are poison and I believe is how they have made the con stick. Check out the link below and you will see over a mean of 8.1 years, a trial involving  48,835 women a dietary intervention that reduced total fat intake and increased intakes of vegetables, fruits, and grains did not significantly reduce the risk of CHD, stroke, or CVD.
