I am new to low carb high fat eating. I like the extra fat I am allowed, but don't seem to be meeting my numbers on the fat. I am starting with a moderate low carb ratio and plan to work down to even lower carb gradually. I've already been low salt and low sugar due to kidney stones, now I am looking at carb load in fruits and veges.
I am a 50 year old obese female with hypertension, ckd 2, fatty liver disease, and hyperlipidemia. I am already insulin resistant in my liver. I hope to turn this around. My husband is also obese and prediabetic; he is now looking to make a change to low carb and low glycemic index.
I look forward to the friendship, advice, and info.

Welcome! @Sabine_Stroehm is our resident low/slow glycemic practitioner. I'm sure there must be others too.
Hope y'all bring some low glycemic conversation to the forum. I'm confident weight loss will help shorten the list of ailments. It got me off blood medication quickly. Weight loss via low carb.

Yes I am working to lose the weight too. They physicians say weight loss and daily exercise is the new prescription.1

I like to look at someone's profile page before replying so saw you have a weight loss goal. Keep the focus. My weight loss approach was moderate carb. I averaged 128 total grams per day.
I think your physician's statement is correct.

Welcome!
Be careful reducing your carbs if you are eating a low sodium diet, your electrolytes can go out of whack very easily when reducing your carbs to a Ketogenic level, and the keto flu is very real and not fun from what I understand.
Because you have kidney stones, I'd like to point you to Dr. Jason Fung and The Obesity Code. He is a Nephrologist in Canada and is a huge proponent of Keto and Fasting.0 -
