Yes; I remember the low-fat craze. In fact I was part of it, my logic being that gram for gram, fat had more calories than carbs or protein (though I was very aware of good vs bad -- i.e. complex vs simple carbs. But learning is a life-long project; the essence is *balance*, & yes, if you're at risk for diabetes, lower your carbs, stick with the complex ones, & limit saturated fat.
So interesting. I have Crohn’s Disease and I’ve been on and off the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. It’s a low carb diet and it helps some people with Irritable Bowel Dysfunction. I find it hard to be able to tell if it helps me. It doesn’t seem to improve my disease activity but when I go off the diet things do get worse.
