Ken, about your diet recommendation don't change anything. I did this. My so called heart healthy diet made my gain 50 lbs in 8 month. I followed the diet as prescribed and got yelled at by my cardiologist at every visit because in his mind I was the one who was cheating. My next appointment will be epic. Because I am back at my " crazy" diet. This time I just will tell him to get some information and then form an opinion about LCHF.
