You may or may not be familiar with Weston A. Price:

I am very much familiar with WP. Initially, just like you, thoguht: wow, they are onto something, and started eating lots of sat.fat. just to gain weight and my LDL climbed. I even was a patient of the dr who is affiliated with WP and is on the board. He is very much "up to date" with his ideas and treatment plans but did not help me much with my health issues.
As for CHO, it is your choice, and enjoy it while you young. Hope you won't be dissapointed later in your life.
ETA: according to many studies, plaque formation starts in teen years, I have no time now, but you can read more about it, WP is not the only one foundation there the knowledge.
