Hi!

Its not the fat that make cholesterol rise, its the carbs Have you seen fat

head the movie? Its a very good explanation there. See here:

The biggest problems with fat is that its hard to digest.

If you are doing fine with the amount you eat I don't see any reason to eat

less. If you are loosing weigth you should eat more

You're eating good fats. And there's an immense amount of misinformation out there about the nasty things that eating fat supposedly does to you -- almost all of it untrue.

Cholestrol levels have always sat at about 4-5 for me, so it's not a

problem before starting the diet.

Fat has been demonized. If you're using healthy fats, it's not an

issue.

By the way, QUARK is not dry curd cottage cheese and is not SCD

legal.
