    Lol, I eat a 30c/40p/30f diet. Seems mine might be better than the Swedish one. If 40% is considered low carb, then I'm on board with it.

    Again, since the OP was biased in the original post. Sweden is NOT recommending low carb high fat as the go to nutritional requirements. They're recommendations are for 10-20% protein, 20-35% fat, and 45-70% carbs.

    All they are doing is simply recognizing that LCHF is a viable alternative for people that need to lose weight. Really, nothing new, nothing outlandish, and nothing that isn't already common knowledge.

    Dr Atkins did not have an MI. He slid on ice walking with a colleague, hit his head and died from injuries.

    He did not die of a heart attack actually, he died from head trauma after slipping on ice...

    you are switching fuels, your brain can function on glucose or ketones. When you go lchf you go into a state of ketosis, and you are using ketones for fuel instead of glucose. If you went low carb low fat what fuel would you use?

    At least they're smarter than the food cops we got running this country. I find it funny that they tell us to eat less when they're all fat too.
