I've had my first day of Low carb high fat and haven't had hunger pangs between meals. I need to lose weight to lower my BMI and keep my cholesterol in normal limits (I am on Statins)
I haven't craved fruit but have just succumbed to a second nectarine (first one was at lunchtime but I ate in bowl with crème fraiche rather than whole and on the go.)
Its a pleasure to have egg and bacon on the mornings and this evening I had smoked mackerel with green salad ( a small amount of puy lentils and some feta and balsamic vinegar but having browsed through the 'Diabetes UK' www and NHS booklets handed to me by my GP, I still can't quite believe how the dietary advice contrasts with tips from members here online. They say to balance low fat and eat cereals for fibre and starchy carbs at meals but lowering sugar and carb intake... eat more fruit and veg etc. It takes some navigating.
Am I really going to lose weight and keep cholesterol down with LCHF? I'm trying not to over compensate with too much protein.
I used to sprinkle raw porridge oats into 0% crème fraiche with raspberries but now the 0% has gone. I didn't realise how much sugar it includes.
I really want the scales to start budging from the weight I've settled at.
