I've done my own research over the past 2 years I used to have high cholesterol and high blood pressure and high blood sugar readings. I was eating the standard american diet, which was high in carbohydrates and low in fats and I was 300 pounds. After doing tons of research and trying loads of different diets the one that worked for me was the Ketogenic diet. Foods that are very inflammatory and ones high in omega 6 do damage to the body. The oils that are the main culprits are the ones that are contained in a majority of the prepackaged food that you eat (vegetable oil, partially hydrogenated soybean oil). Studies have proven that reducing these along with sugar and carbohydrate intake reduces blood glucose levels and lipid abnormalities.

By increasing my fat intake and reducing my sugars and carbs and watching out for inflammatory foods I've lost 80 pounds. My cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar tests are now in the normal range, and I'm excising daily. All of which were not possible for me on a low fat high carb diet.
