From my personal studies into low carb nutrition, fat is not the enemy...
Starch and sugar are. And if I control those two items, my Cholesterol
stays lower and my Triglycerides stay below 100.

Fat being the enemy is a myth.

I used to run blood tests monthly when I first started playing with
diet. Now I run them once ever 2 to 3 months, but mainly because we're
still trying to stabilized my damned thyroid meds!

But that's a genetic issue, not dietary.
