A member asked:

Advice? would low carb high fat/protein diet clog my arteries?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Controversial: Conventional wisdom is "yes" but short term studies of patients on the adkin's diet (low carb, high fat) surprisingly had lower cholesterols. And it's unknown if the long term incidence of disease and death is affected.
