Triglycerides are way low after a year on low carb. Fats are a bit

It most certainly can! Hubby had a fasting blood test today after low
carbing for only the month of February. The good news was his
triglycerides dropped significantly to 66 and his blood glucose
numbers improved - so he's encouraged to soldier on.

How do you deal with hunger? He still hasn't talked to a dietitian,
but his Dr told him to cut back on saturated fats due to a heart
blockage that was taken care of with stents and he has to watch sugars
because of prediabetes. I'd like him to eat brown rice and whole
wheat products but he's avoiding rice, corn and wheat except for a
couple of slices of w/w bread per day for a sandwich at lunch.

BTW: he's not overweight and weight loss isn't a goal - but low carb
seems to be doing good things for his numbers. Do you have any
insights for me about controlling hunger?
