For health reasons i have to stick to a low fat diet forever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Low fat diets are unhealthy if the fats are replaced by carbohydrates. However, in the presence of coronary artery disease, diets that limit saturated and trans fats have been found to be beneficial. Nonetheless, don't use simple carbs in their pka e use plant based proteins with some wild fish such as salmon for healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
