High Fat Content?

[DMoran]

Just reading the back on one of my shakes. 6.7g of fat and 3.5g of sat fat (so 20g and 10g) I know this is below the RDA, it just seems quite high, anyone know why. When I was dieting on normal food I kept my fat intake below 10g and my sat fat intake below 5g and lost 26lbs over 3 months. Just wondering why the fat content is so high is all

I don't know for sure but it's probably necessary. The fact you go into ketosis on this diet means you burn fat first. I don't think it would be more beneficial to be low fat. Does that make sense at all? Probably not!

The calories have to come from somewhere I guess, even if they're not that much.

Yeah its obviously not doing anything bad as we are all still losing weight, just wondered why it was quite high for just a powder.
