Sweden Becomes First Western Nation to Reject Low-fat Diet Dogma in Favor of Low-carb High-fat Nutrition


Who doesn't love a good ol' Swedish meatball?! Since first visiting a do-it-yourself furniture store, and being introduced to these little gems, I find I'm always on the look out for them when out grocery shopping.

Sweden has become the first Western nation to develop national dietary guidelines that reject the popular low-fat diet dogma in favor of  low-carb high-fat nutrition advice.


The switch in dietary advice followed the publication of a two-year study by the independent Swedish Council on Health Technology Assessment. The committee reviewed 16,000 studies published through May 31, 2013.

Swedish meatballs are now OK!

There are many mantras we have been taught to accept as truths:

“Calories are calories, no matter where they come from.”
“It’s all about the balance between calories in and calories out.”
“People are fat because they don’t move enough.”
“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”

As an insulin resistant woman, I'm tired of hearing these 'reasons' as to why I'm still overweight. I'm OVERJOYED that more and more scientific & medical studies are coming out in support of the LOW CARB/ HIGH FAT way of heating.
