Nancy K. on cholesterol

Now for fats. I know that many may be worried about heart disease and weight gain eating a lot of fats. Here's the good news the old thoughts of a low fat diet are false, it doesn't prevent heart disease-as long as it's good fats. Good fats include: coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil, real butter, full fat cream cheese and sour cream, avocados, block cheese.
On warning: If you don't lower your carbohydrate intake to less than 50 grams daily for at least 1 week prior to increasing your good fats you are putting your long term health at risk. The combination of the two will drastically increase your triglyceride and cholesterol levels, and you can experience strokes and heart attacks.
Fats will become your body fuel. Fats in a meal will keep you feeling full as the foods we now choose to eat will not keep us satisfied for long periods of time. Fats do not increase your bs like proteins and carbohydrates do.
