[QUOTE="diamondnostril, post: 853538, member: 63791"] Hi Phil, I had the same problem when I moved to a Ketogenic (LCHF) diet a couple of years ago. My blood-sugars finally were under my control (for the first time ever) and so I wanted to stick with the diet. But obviously I needed to stop the weight loss. I did not want to add another meal to my routine, because that would inevitably introduce more Carbs and Protein, and I didn't have the hunger for it anyway. The solution I found was to [B]drink[/B] my calories, rather than eat them. I started to add a dollop of coconut oil into my coffees, which over 2 or 3 daily coffees easily added more than 500 kCal to my daily intake. This stopped the weight loss, without making even a smidge of difference to my blood-sugar levels. Now that I have discovered Bulletproof coffee, it's easy to drink much more kCal than that. And now that I have moved back to the UK, where pourable double cream (50% FAT) is available everywhere, it's become even easier. I've continued with my regular LCHF strategy (1 meal per day, which normally comes in at something like 1,200 - 1,500 kCal) and the rest of my kCal I take as FAT in drinks. Has worked well for me, to solve this thorny problem. Have maintained my weight and good levels for couple of years now, and feel (physically and mentally) very good. Regards :) Antony [/QUOTE]
