And then comes the food as fat is the King , forget Lite throw in a knob of butter into soups/stews or fatty meat you need it .
    I eat no sugar, avoid carbs as much as I can and ear all the fat, saturated or otherwise that I can. I have lost 30kg and my cholesterol has halved. Energy levels have never been better and I only eat one meal a day (dinner).

    This actually the way everyone used to eat before agriculture (100k years ago which isn't that long) so it's the natural way to ear for humans. If you want to know more read the books by Dr Jason Fung on fasting and lot carb \ keto.

    The problem with eating like people did 100,000 yrs ago is that we are not descendant's of those people. The last ice age killed them off, regardless of a fatty diet . The people that we descend from survived in the fertile crescent where they domesticated some of the grains we consume today - wheat, oats, barley. The ice age survivors went through a genetic bottleneck which selected those individuals that could survive and reproduce on a new diet. Read up about the diets of the worlds longest lived populations, well worth careful study
