Hi Shirehorse, I support what moreless say about carbs. I came here after being diagnosed with a hernia. My internal fat was bursting out at midriff level. Going LCHF (there is a support forum here) lower carbs, higher fats, not only helped me to lose the internal fat (I no longer have a hernia, no surgery required) but it also got a lot of other things back on track, reduced hunger pangs and sugar cravings. Good luck!
