I'll ask her to send me some studies but that's how we all eat now. Low carb, high fat, zero sugar and I am lean as hell (down 75lbs since I quit drinking), very good hunger control and steady moods. My old man is 82, had quadruple bypass a year ago and he is also eating this way and I think he's the healthiest I've seen him in 20 years.
thanks for the suggestion peter, i will definitely look into it
Here is one article on the subject. The new line of thinking is that low saturated fats are excellent for us. Avocados, fish, eggs, nuts, cheese, chia seeds, extra virgin olive oil are all good sources of fat and they also curb cravings.

My sister and my old man's cardiologist put him on a low carb, higher fat diet (all fats from good sources) and he is looking great, down in weight and food cravings are diminished.

I'm also eating that way, typical breakfast for me is 3 eggs, cheese and an avocado. Lunch I'll have a salad with nuts, cheese, avocado and chicken or some meat. Usually a snack of some fatty source and for dinner I'll have a high fat fish like salmon (max 2 times per week), chicken, steak occassionally and I don't worry about fatty cuts. If I'm hungry I'll eat a piece of dark chocolate before bed. At 40 years old I'm as lean and light as I was when I was playing pro tennis at 19, I'm injury and inflammation free and I'm a happy mother fucker.

I'm also very lucky, my wife is a hell of a cook and I'm a sexist bastard so we live an old school gender role type of life. She cooks me a kick ass healthy meal nightly so it makes eating this way very easy.
