How do you get enough fat in? I think I'm not losing weight because I am doing too much protein and not enough fat. But where can I get the fat into my diet do you think? E.g. Today with my bacon and eggs I had a portion of butter just with it, is this the type of thing I have to do?! Do I have to eat more cheese?!

Have mushrooms with your bacon and egg, cooked in butter. Have real mayo on your salads etc (Hellman's has virtually no carbs), plenty of butter, cheese, eggs, oily fish like salmon, olive oil, avocados, nuts, full fat yogurts.

Or maybe you're having too much fat? I'm not losing weight so am cutting down on fats a bit to see if that works.

I scramble eggs in fat. If not enough bacon fat I add a generous helping of butter.

Any of the above will have your fat numbers in check. You can also make Fat Bombs - Google for recipes
