Love the explanation rod! I certainly see this as a "lifestyle" and not a diet- indeed I began lchf to try to rectify the blood levels.....for some reason never thought about losing weight, obviously it happened quiet dramatically for me!!Not a huge amount in terms of the food as I understand, except that Atkins seems to have become an industry. Also many who do Atkins to lose weight (which it does) stop the diet when they reach their target and of course it all goes back on again.
LCHF is a lifestyle, not a diet. And for us it's for life (which I see as a positive not a 'sentence').
ifferent stages, weighing etc.HI
What's the main differences between LCHF and Atkins as they seem the same ??
My last result was 3.7 for cholesterol- described as "perfect" by DN! I don't go crazy on fat, cream in coffee instead of milk, knob of butter on greens etc just to compensate for low carb ( gave myself a target of 50gm per day when starting, rarely used that and now less than 30gm per day)Does LCHF not cause problems cus of the fat? Cholesterol etc
No, it usually improves cholesterol numbers if you're worried about that.Does LCHF not cause problems cus of the fat? Cholesterol etc
Oh that's amazingMy last result was 3.7 for cholesterol- described as "perfect" by DN!

I think this is a good website with a great message but I have to say that the message is not an original one. It is just Atkins that is packaged and marketed differently. The message then is the same message now - eat Low Carb High Fat foods and your blood sugar, cholesterol levels and overall health will improve.
