Low salt/low fat is the wrong approach!
The problem with the American diet is sugar, grain products and starchy vegetables. All the carbohydrates.
My lovely and I are on a high fat, high salt, very low carb nutrition plan. We have lost 200 pounds together and she has reversed her type 2 diabetes. She no longer injects insulin or takes the very expensive diabetic prescriptions at all. Our blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels are all within normal ranges with no statins. My lovely does take one small dose of high blood pressure medicine per day.
This is all under a MDs recommendation and supervision.
We have been mislead about nutrition for years and it is fattening us and the pocketbooks of the pharmaceutical industry
