After being a diabetic for 25+ years (currently diet/exercise controlled)
and a recent open-heart surgery patient, I have been following my diet VERY
strictly. My question is this: All the recommendations I see are for less
than 30% of calories from fat, a minimum is never mentioned. I know you do
required some fat though. I have been running low to mid teens fat
percentage with some days in single digits. Is this okay? Where do we draw
the line? Any input would be greatly appreciated.


I'm not sure that tons of research has been done on this, although I
believe the Ornish diet is quite low in fat (please feel free to correct
me if I am off base on that).

Here's a link that you may find to be helpful:
