Correct! Carbs cause systemic fat (in all its forms including cholesterol). Carbs also cause high blood sugar. Dietary fat’s contribution to systemic fat is very limited. Cutting carbs and (to a lesser extent) sodium are the trick.
I guess I’m doomed. I love my carbs in all forms.
Bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, crackers, grits, polenta, chips, cake, cookies….
Oddly, I’m not overweight and blood work pretty good for a man my age. 🤔
