At the risk of coming off like I’m criticizing, wasn’t I told to substitute my choices of fats, with margarine, and low-fat alternatives that were instead laden with other problems ? Oh, and the sugar alternatives like aspartame, and Splenda?

Forgive my skepticism. But I’m much healthier after a decade of going back to butter, sugar, and less processed foods? My medical chart is all I need for confirmation of my choices.

Encouraging news though.

I agree. I finally talked to a nutritionist and learned what it actually means to "track my macros". Staying away from processed food is absolutely the key to healthier living.
