Heart healthy diet and carbohydrate intake
Another cardiologist friend says be a vegan, oil free and whole food is the way to go. Carbohydrate is not a problem. Too many conflicting advise depending on who we talk to.

thx for the Q. Diet advice has actually become MORE consistent now. Here’s the steady ground: the best‑evidence pattern is mostly plants, high fiber, adequate protein, and limited saturated fat—without needing to be zero‑oil or fully vegan. Whole‑food vegan can work well, but “carbs aren’t a problem” is only true for intact, high‑fiber carbs (beans, lentils, millets, oats, vegetables, fruit). Refined carbs (white rice/maida snacks, sweets, juices) do drive glucose, triglycerides, and belly fat—especially in South Asians.
