The End of the Low Fat Diet?

I am asked about fats a lot in my job at a heart hospital.

Lots of patients come in and tell me they were on the "see food and eat it" diet prior to their bypass surgery and their physicians told them they really need to consider cleaning up their diet.  But does that mean low fat?  Research points to the answer being "no", but it also doesn't mean we get to eat chocolate, cheese and coconut butter with reckless abandon.

A friend of mine and her intern posted a really great article on this topic here.  I encourage you to take a look!

As always, if you have any questions or would like some help figuring out your own dietary plan, feel free to contact me!
